Redemption Song

Oh 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 move forward in this generation
 Triumphantly.
 Won't you help me 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 us can stop the time
 How long shall they kill our prophets
 While we stand aside and look
 You 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
 'Cause all I ever had:
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs
 Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
 None but ourselves can free our mind.
 Have no fear for atomic energy
 'Cause none of us can stop the time
 How long must 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 me sing
 These songs of freedom?
 'Cause all I ever had:
 Redemption songs
 Redemtion songs
 All I ever had:
 Redemption songs:
 These songs of freedom
 Songs of freedom.
