Redemption Song

Tile: Bob Marley - Redemption 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 hands 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 fulfils de book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Won't you help to sing……………. The songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever had:

Songs of freedom.

I heard this music some time last year at my girl friend birthday party; I was so touched by the wordings , and thought about the struggle and suffering the Liberians were going through because of power greed and ambitious. Their so called president Taylor and his loyal rebel soldiers ill treated their fellow citizens as though they were slave, the poor Liberians cry days and nights for freedom, they also hope that one day united nation will come to the aid and rescue them from the hands of devil .( Charles Taylor.)

Most Liberians live in fears and fled their mothers land because they wanted freedom, and wanted to free themselves from mental slavery, some Liberians loose their parents, kids, and all they earn in life. Others live as refugees and suffer a hard cost of living due to the lack of food, cloths, water and illness. Even though most Liberians live in neighboring countries as refugees, most of them were ill treated by the fellow citizen of those countries. Some were rape; man was mad handle and so on. They suffer a lot. As God could have it, and with the help of the united nation most Liberians received help and was also resettle to various European countries and also the united state of America to help them improve their lives from worst to better. Through this process most Liberians got their freedom, and felt what a means to be free again. This music Redemption song, relates to what so ever happen during the Liberia civil war, and the wordings are so touching to me.
