Oh 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 move forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help me 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 us 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 me sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of us can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, 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 -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
