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 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

Oh! 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 songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
