Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less 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?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look
Huh, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to ful fill the Book
Won't you help to sing,
Rhese songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Oh, have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-the time
How 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 ful fill the Book
Won'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!
