Oh pirates, yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pitBut my hand was made strong
By the hands of the Almighty
We fought in this generation
TriumphantlyWon't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songsEmancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the timeHow long shall they kill our Prophets
While we stand beside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the bookWon't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songsEmancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the timeHow long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand beside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the bookWon't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songsThis songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
