Set The Captives Free lyrics

[Intro]
Jah Jah, Jah Jah

[Verse 1]
I hear birds up in the tree
Singing songs of melody
I've seen wicked standing by
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes (But let me tell you)

[Chorus]
Set the captive-a free
That's the only thing that really bother me
Set the captives free
'Cause what is to be has got to be

[Verse 2]
I've seen bredrin lickin' coke
Starving time, living more
While the wicked passing by
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes (Oh wee)

[Bridge]
Jah Jah, Jah Jah
Thou art my saviour, Jah Jah

[Verse 3]
I hear birds up in the tree (Oh wee)
Singing songs of melody
I've seen wicked standing by (Yeah)
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes (But listen, listen to me)
[Outro]
Set the captive-a free (Oh wee)
What is to be has got to be (Yeah)
Set the captive-a free
That's the only thing that really bother me
