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 'and of the Almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
Redemption song
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've got to fulfil the book
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
Won't you help to sing redemption song?
Redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Yeah, that's me
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfil the book
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
All I ever had, redemption song
All I ever had, redemption song
