Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Redemption Song lyrics
[Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Redemption Song lyrics]
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
'Cause all I ever hear (No Transkei)
Is redemption song (No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu)
Soldiers march their freedom
Out into the city streets
And though it seems like a losing battle
There can be no retreat
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Brothers and sisters of Africa
It's not for me
To say to you what you must do
Mothers and daughters of Africa amandla
We can't control awethu
What's in your mind, what's in your soul
Maatla
Brothers and sisters of Africa amandla
The chains of time awethu
Will break the man who holds the key
Maatla Amandla
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
'Cause all I ever hear (No Transkei)
Is redemption song (No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu)
Soldiers march their freedom
Out into the city streets
And though it seems like a losing battle
There can be no retreat
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Brothers and sisters of Africa
