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 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
|
Some say it's just a part of it
|
We've got to fulfill the book
|
|
So won't you help to sing
|
These songs of freedom
|
Cause all I ever had
|
Redemption songs
|
Redemption songs
|
Redemption songs
|
|
Old pirates yes they rob I
|
Sold I to the merchant ships
|
Minutes after they took I
|
From the bottomless pit
|
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
|
|
So won't you help to sing
|
These songs of freedom
|
Cause all I ever had
|
These songs of freedom
|
Cause all I ever had
|
Redemption songs
|
These songs of freedom
|
These songs of freedom
