Old pirate, yes, them rob I, sold I to the merchant ship
|
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
|
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
|
We struggle in this generation triumphantly
|
|
New York City, won't you help me sing
|
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
|
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
|
|
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
|
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them a cannot stop the time
|
How long will you kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
|
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
|
|
Brooklyn, help me sing
|
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
|
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
|
|
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
|
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them they can't a stop for the time
|
How long will they kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
|
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
|
|
Won't you help me sing
|
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
|
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
|
|
A-Ame-rica, God bless America
|
A-Ame-rica, the land of the free and the home of the brave
|
A-Ame-rica, yeah, Amer, Amer, America
|
A-Ame-rica
|
|
New York City, let me see your hands in the air
|
A-Ame-rica, God bless ya, America, yeah, oh yeah
|
God bless Ame-rica
