Freedom Time
Stephen Marley Lyrics

Heard the news from a whispering tree
I received a message from nature telling me that change is coming

This is a time when men must be free
It is now more important than ever for humanity to achieve true freedom

No more burning in vain
We must not waste any more of our energy on meaningless things

All the loses we've got to gain
Even though we have experienced losses, there is still much for us to gain

Get ready, children
Prepare yourselves for what is to come

Didn't I build a garden
I created something beautiful and bountiful for us to enjoy

Didn't I plant the palm
I have invested in something that has grown and provided for us

Didn't my people before me
Those who came before me have also contributed to this land

Slave for this country
They have worked tirelessly for this nation, sometimes against their own will

Oh, mercenary was built for freedom
Warriors were created for the purpose of obtaining independence

The good Lord says son, "You're a free man"
Even God recognizes our right to freedom

I am gonna talk that freedom talk
I will speak unabashedly about our freedom and rights

Now let me see that freedom walk
It is time to demonstrate our freedom in action

Oh yeah, heard the news from a whispering tree
I am once again reminded of the message I received from nature

Get ready for children
The future generations must also be prepared for the fight for freedom
