Lyrics Gregory Isaacs – Set The Captives Free

I hear birds up in the trees
Singing songs of melody
I’ve seen wicked standing by
I’ve seen mothers wipe their eyes

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…
