Set the Captive Free - Gregory Isaacs

I hear birds up in the trees

Singing songs of melody

I’ve seen wicked standing by

I’ve seen mothers wipe their eyes

But let me tell ya

Set the captive a free

That’s the only thing that really bother me

Set the captive a free

'Cause what is to be, has got to be

I’ve seen bredren licking cup

Serving Jah and living up

While the wicked passing by

I’ve seen mothers wipe their eyes

Ooh-wee

Jah Jah

Jah Jah

Thou art my Saviour

Jah Jah

I’ve heard birds up in the trees, ooh-wee

Singing songs of melody

I’ve seen wicked standing by, yeah

I’ve seen mothers wipe their eyes

But listen mister wicked

Set the captive a free, ooh-wee

What is to be, has got to be, yeah

Set the captive a free

That’s the only thing…
