[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
[Verse 2]
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 k** our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
[Chorus]
So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
[Verse 3]
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 k** our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
[Chorus]
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
