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 have

Redemption song

These songs of freedom

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 have

Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind.

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

Songs of freedom

All I ever had

Redemption song

Songs of freedom, songs of freedom.

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 have

Redemption song, redemption song

Songs of freedom...
