Redemption Song

m: Bob Marley w: Matt Loosigian

I saw a soda bottle lying

By the road in the crabby grass

Someone had sent it flying

As they were driving past

I reached right down to take it

I knew it was worth some cash

As I picked it up to shake it out

It was then I saw a flash

2.) There was a fairy inside vibratin’

Her face was wet with tears

She pleaded for salvation

Said she’d been in there for years

She flapped her sticky wings

And she told me of her plight

She was addicted to caffeine

When she squeezed in late one night

Chorus: And won’t you help me sing

These songs of freedom

In a bottle all alone

Redemption Song 2x

3.) I shook the bottle up-side down like catsup

To try and help her out

She cried that she was going to upchuck

And she started to curse and shout

I tried to use a fork

And then I squeezed with all my might

She popped out like a cork

And got knocked out like a light

Chorus: And won’t you help me sing

These songs of freedom

A fairy still as stone

Redemption Song 2x

4.) When she came around she thanked me

She said, “Get ready for your prize.”

But I knew that she was stingy

I could see it in her shifty eyes

She said, “If you redeem this bottle

You will get a nickel back

And you’ll make the world a safer place

With one fewer fairy trap.”

Last Chorus: Won’t you help me sing

These songs of freedom

One bottle at a time

Redemption Song 2x
