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
