Redemption Song

Lyrics

Old pirates yes they rob I
 Sold I to the merchant ships
 Minutes after they took I from the bottomless 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 had
 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
 Some say it's just a part of it, we got to fulfill the book
 So won't you help to sing
 These songs of freedom
 'Cause all I ever had
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs
 Old pirates yes they rob I
 Sold I to the merchant ships
 Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
 How long shall they kill our prophets
 While we stand aside and look
 Some say it's just a part of it, we got to fulfill the book
 So won't you help to sing
 These songs of freedom
 'Cause all I ever had
 These songs of freedom
 'Cause all I ever had
 Redemption songs
 These songs of freedom
 These songs of freedom
