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
All I ever had
Is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
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
Aside and look
Some say
It's just a part of it
We've got
To fullfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves
From mental slavery
None but oursekves
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
Yes some say
It's just a part of it
We've got
To fullfill 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
We've got to stand up
To get up
And be strong
We've got to pray
We've got to pray
For the healing
So we can start
All over again
