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 'and 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 fulfil de book.
|
|
Won't you help to sing
|
These songs of freedom? -
|
'Cause all I ever have
|
Redemption songs;
|
Redemption songs;
|
Redemption songs.

|
|
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.
