Zion Bound


At 81, Cedella Booker Marley, mother of Bob Marley, made her journey from this created realm on Tuesday in Miami, Florida.

While many would say, "May your soul rest in peace", I pray that Mother Booker sing and dance for all eternity with the angels in Zion.

Thank you, Jah, for the life of this woman and for the gift of her son, Bob, whom she shared with the world.

Blessed Earth Strong, Idren Bob



I often wonder how different our world would be if Bob Marley were still alive today. In such a short time on Earth, he had a lasting world wide impact. Of all his songs, this is the one that resonates most deeply in my heart.


Redemption Song


Old pirates yes they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty

We forward in this generation triumphantly

All I ever had, is songs of freedom

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

All I ever had, redemption songs

These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
