Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh 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
Forward in this generation
Triumphantly
[Verse 2]
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
Redemption song
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
Won't you help to sing
Redemption song
Redemption song
[Verse 5]
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
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
[Verse 6]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
All I ever had, redemption song
All I ever had, redemption song
[Verse 7]
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time
