Elisa Redemption Song Lyrics

(Bob Marley)

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minute after they took I
from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
And we'll forward in this generation
triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
All I ever had, yeah
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
I 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
Some say it's just a part of it
And we got to fulfil the book

But won't you help to sing Songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
All I ever had
Is just redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
I 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
(While we stand, while we stand aside)
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

But won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
Redemption songs
Songs of freedom
Just songs of freedom
Redemption songs
Songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
