Redemption Song

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 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?
 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
