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

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
Oh! 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

These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs!
Redemption songs:
Songs of freedom
Redemption songs!
