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 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 outside 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 songs
