Rare Acoustic Live
Redemption Song Lyric
Old pirates, yes, they rob I. Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom?
Cause all I ever have, Redemption songs, Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy,cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look?
ooh!Some say its just a part of it. We've got to fulfil de book
Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom?
cause all I ever have, Redemption songs, Redemption songs, Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free
our mind.Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,cause none of them-a
can-a stop-a the time. How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Yes, some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfil de book. Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom? -cause all I ever had, Redemption songs
All I ever had, Redemption songs
These songs of freedom,Songs of freedomSong Note : "Marley completed this album (his last) in the summer of 1980. He was suffering from the cancer that would eventually kill him at age 36, but was very productive in his later years. He refused traditional medicine because of his Rastafarian beliefs and chose to make music and perform as long as he could."
"This Song was Marley's last single before his death on May 11, 1981. It sums up his life and what he stood for in his songs: freedom and redemption. Marley was a very spiritual singer who gave hope to the downtrodden in his native Jamaica, and whose message spread to the United States and around the world when he became a star."
"This was the last song Marley performed. He sang it from a stool at a show in Pittsburgh on September 23, 1980."
