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 hands
of the almighty
We forward in this
generation triumphantly
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, ooh
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
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, 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
