Redemption Song Lyrics

Bunny Wailer

Old pirates yes they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships.
Then after they took I,
Throw I in their dungeons and pit.
But my hand was made strong,
By the works of the Almighty,
To forward in this generation, triumphantly.
So won't you help me sing, these songs of freedom,
That's all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Don't be afraid of atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop Jah times.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we sit around and wait?
Some say it's just a part of it,
But the wages of it too great.

So won't you help me sing, these songs of freedom,
That's all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Don't be afraid of atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop Jah times.
How long shall they kill black people,
While we sit around and wait?
Some say it's just a part of it,
But the wages of it too great.

So won't you help me sing, these songs of freedom,
That's all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs.
Redemption songs, redemption songs.
