Redemption Song

No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For 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 fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever hear
Is redemption song
Soldiers march their freedom
Out into the city streets
And though it seems like a losing battle
There can be no retreat
So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever hear
Is redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For 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 fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever hear
Is redemption song
