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.

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

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 have:

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs.

Guitar break

Emancipate yourselves

from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

'Cause none of them a

can a stop a 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 fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing

Dese songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever had:

Redemption songs

All I ever had:

Redemption songs:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.
