    Redemption Song by 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 forward in this generation
    Triumphantly.
    Won't you help to sing
    This 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 fullfil the book.
    Won't you help to sing
    This songs of freedom'Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;

    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.
    --/Guitar break/
    --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 fullfil the book.
    Won't you have to sing
    This songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever had:
    Redemption songs All I ever had:
    Redemption songs:
    These songs of freedom,
    Songs of freedom.

    Station 3: Post-Colonial Identity

    What makes up an
    identity?

    Magnanimous Warrior!...Hunting mother. She who forages.


    Who knows the ground Mother who brews the most beautiful
    tea from the ugliest bush Warrior who labors in the spirit
    Into whose cauldron the Red Coats vanished.
    What has become of this warrior? Now that we need her more
    than ever
    Her powers are known no longer. They are called by other
    names. She is not respected. She lies on an iron bedstead in a
    shack in Trench Town. She begs outside a rumshop in Spanish
    Town We have forgotten her. Now that we need her more
    than everCan you remember how to love her?
