Redemption SongStevie Wonder

Songwriter: Bob Marley

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 fought 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? Oooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book

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

EMANCIPATE yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind
WoAH! 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 fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? --
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs --
All I ever had:
Redemption songs...
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
