Bob Marley & The Wailers - Freedom Time

Got the news from the whispering tree
This is the time when man must be free
No more burning in vain
All we lose, we'll have to gain

Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Now listen

Didn't I build the cabin
Didn't I plant the corn
Didn't my people before me
Slave this country

Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children, oh

My sermon it was billed for freedom
The good Lord said, "Son, you're a free man
I'm gonna talk that freedom talk
Now let me see you walk that freedom walk

Get ready, children
Please, get ready, children
Please, get ready, children
I tell you

Got the news from the whispering tree
Oh, this is the time man must be free
No, no, no, no more burning in vain
All we lose, we'll have to gain

Get ready, children
Get ready, children
Get ready, children
I ask you

Didn't I build the cabin
Didn't I plant the corn
Didn't my people before me
Slave this country

Get ready, children
Get ready...
