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 have:

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 fulfill de book.

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

(Guitar break)

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-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 fulfil 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.
