Chris Blackwell - Redemption Song lyrics

[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 have 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] Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? Cause all I ever have Redemption songs Redemption songs [Acoustic Break] [Verse 3] Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds! Whoa! Have no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them-ah can-ah stop-ah the time How long shall they k** 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 [Chorus] Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? Cause all I ever have Redemption songs [Outro] All I ever have Redemption songs These songs of freedom Songs of freedom
