Lyrics
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 hands of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom?
It's 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 the book
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom?
It's all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
It's all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
You're all I ever have
Redemption songs
