I hear birds up in the tree
Singing songs of melody
I see wicked standign by
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes
But let me tell you
Set the captives free
That's the only thing that really
Bother me
Set the captives free
Cause what is to be
Has got to be
I've seen bredrin licking coke
Starving time, living more
While the wicked pa**ing by
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes
Oo wee
Jah Jah
Jah Jah
Then art my saviour
Jah Jah
I hear birds up in the tree, oo wee
Singing songs of melody
I see wicked standign by, yeh
I've seen mothers wipe their eyes
But listen, listen to me
Set the captives free
Cause what is to be
Has got to be, yeh
Set the captives free
