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





All I ever had, is songs of freedom

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 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


All I ever had, redemption songs

These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
