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

All the pirates, yeah, they rob them
Sold them on to the merchant ship
Several minutes after they took them
From the bottomless pit
But their hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
They flourished in this generation
Triumphantly
That's when I have to let you know
Can you please help me sing

These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
Redemption song
Redemption song

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

Redemption song
Redemption song (sing)
Redemption song (sing)

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