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 have, redemption songs,
Redemption songs
Emancipate your selves from mental slavery
None but yourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none a 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'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.
Emancipate your selves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none a them can stop 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 fulfill 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.
