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 'and of the Almighty. |
|
We forward in this generation |
|
Triumphantly. |
|
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? Ooh! |
|
Some say it's just a part of it: |
|
We've got to fulfil 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 de book. |
|
Won't you help to sing |
|
Dese songs of freedom? - |
|
'Cause all I ever had: |
|
Redemption songs - |
|
All I ever had: |
|
Redemption songs: |
|
These songs of freedom, |
|
Songs of freedom. |
