About Redemption Song
"Redemption Song" is a song by Bob Marley. It is the final track on Bob Marley & the Wailers' ninth album, Uprising, produced by Chris Blackwell and released by Island Records.

Redemption Song Lyrics
[00:17.55] Old pirates, yes, they rob I
[00:21.86] Sold I to the merchant ships
[00:26.52] Minutes after they took I
[00:30.75] From the bottomless pit
[00:34.03] But my hand was made strong
[00:37.14]
[00:39.43] By the hand of the Almighty
[00:42.64] We forward in this generation
[00:48.30] Triumphantly
[00:51.60] Won't you help to sing
[00:54.34]
[00:56.81] These songs of freedom?
[00:59.72] 'Cause all I ever have
[01:04.83] Redemption songs
[01:09.39] Redemption songs
[01:14.28] Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
[01:18.07] None but ourselves can free our minds
[01:22.15] Have no fear for atomic energy
[01:26.30] 'Cause none of them can stop the time
[01:30.63] How long shall they kill our prophets
[01:34.54] While we stand aside and look? Ooh
[01:38.76] Some say it's just a part of it
[01:42.89] We've got to fullfil the book
[01:45.05]
[01:47.68] Won't you help to sing
