Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I from the Bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
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 fulfill 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 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
Yes some say it’s just part of it
We’ve got to fulfill 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
