FRIDAY FLOWS

I could probably do a Bob Marley song every friday, because he has so much amazing work. But I will try to give other artists some shine as well. However, today, I was feeling a little "DAM THE MAN" so I had to put this song up... It is so meaningful and I think it is especially deep considering the times we are in.
REDEMTION SONG
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 'and 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 it's 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 it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom?
-'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
-All I ever had:
These songs of freedom,Songs of freedom.
By the way, this is probably my favorite song of all time.
