An iconic song by Bob Marley was the go to song for this week's Openmic
Our ethics determine what we do with our freedom because the statutes we keep are pivotal to every step we take with our few minds.
This song preaches against people who would by virtue of poor ethics enslave their fellow man.
Yet again it shows us that freedom exists in one’s mind and there alone, so could either be enslaved or made free by your mindset.
Lyrics
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward 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? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfil the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
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 fullfill 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
Una canción icónica de Bob Marley fue la canción principal del Openmic de esta semana Nuestra ética determina lo que hacemos con nuestra libertad porque los estatutos que mantenemos son fundamentales para cada paso que damos con nuestras pocas mentes. Esta canción predica contra las personas que en virtud de una mala ética esclavizarían a sus semejantes. Una vez más, nos muestra que la libertad existe en la mente de uno y solo allí, por lo que puede ser esclavizado o liberado por su forma de pensar.
Letra
Me vendieron a los barcos de mercaderes,
Minutos despues de que me tomaron
Del pozo sin fondo.
Pero mi mano se hizo fuerte
Por la mano del Todopoderoso.
Avanzamos en esta generación
Triunfantemente.
¿No ayudarás a cantar
Estas canciones de libertad?
Porque lo único que he tenido:
Canciones de redención;
Canciones de redención.
Emancípense de la esclavitud mental;
Nadie más que nosotros puede liberar nuestras mentes.
No le teman a la energía atómica,
Porque ninguno de ellos puede parar el tiempo.
¿Por cuánto tiempo deben matar a nuestros profetas,
Mientras nos hacemos a un lado y miramos? ¡Ooh!
Algunos dicen que es tan sólo una parte de ello:
Tenemos que cumplir lo que dice el libro.

Hi brother Cabe,
Yes I enjoyed singing this song. It’s a very iconic one and I felt quite some pressure at first because of that but at the end of the day I just went with the flow and got one take I could manage.
Thank you for taking your time to listen and do have a blessed week ahead, you and your lovely family.
Making this video took my mind to the recent unity song prompt I’m still very much looking forward to what it will bring. I play the song quite often now trying to ease myself into it since i saw it for the first time on your post.
