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,
|
cuz all I ever had,
|
Redemption song.
|
|
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
|
none but ourselves can free our minds,
|
have no fear for atomic energy
|
cuz 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.
|
|
Won't you help to sing
|
these songs of freedom,
|
cuz all I ever had
|
Redemption song. Redemption song. x2
|
