Lyrics:

Bob Marley)

Oh, pirates, yes, they rob I
Put me on the merchant ships
Then they tell me they took I
>From the bottomless pit

But my hand will be strong
Even though I'm on my knees
These following generations
Will try to honor me

CHORUS
So won't you help me sing
This song of freedom
All I ever had
Redemption song, redemption song

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but us can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the times

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

CHORUS

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but us can free our minds
We have no use for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the times

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

CHORUS
