[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

[Verse 2]

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?

Ooh, some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

[Chorus]

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

[Acoustic Break]

[Verse 3]

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Woah, have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them-ah can-ah stop-ah 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

[Chorus]

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

[Outro]

All I ever have

Redemption songs

These songs of freedom

Songs of freedom
