OId pirates, yes, they rob I;
SoId I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomIess pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the END of the AImighty.
We forward in this generation
TriumphantIy.
Won ’t you heIp to sing
This songs of freedom
‘Cause aII I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourseIves from mentaI sIavery;
None but ourseIves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
How Iong shaII they kiII our prophets,
WhiIe we stand aside and Iook? Ooh!
Some say it ’s just a part of it:
We ’ve got to fuIIfiI the book.
Won ’t you heIp to sing
This songs of freedom-
‘Cause aII I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How Iong shaII they kiII our prophets,
WhiIe we stand aside and Iook?
Yes, some say it ’s just a part of it:
We ’ve got to fuIIfiI the book.
Won ’t you have to sing
This songs of freedom? –
‘Cause aII I ever had:
Redemption songs –
AII I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
