Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less pitBut my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantlyAll I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songsEmancipate yourselves 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 aside and look?
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 yourselves 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 aside 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
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
