Redemption Song Lyrics

Old 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 hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
TriumphantlyWon't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
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 book"Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?

'Cause, all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songsOld pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pitHow 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"So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause, all I ever have
These songs of freedom'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
