Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation, triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption song
These songs of freedom
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 fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
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 fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Songs of freedom
All I ever had
Redemption song
Songs of freedom, songs of freedom
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation, triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption song, redemption song
Songs of freedom...
