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 'and 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? |
| Ooh! |
| Some say it’s just a part of it: |
| We’ve got to fulfil de book |
| Won’t you help to sing |
| These songs of freedom? |

| 'Cause all I ever have: |
| Redemption songs; |
| Redemption songs; |
| Redemption songs |
| Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; |
| None but ourselves can free our mind |
| Wo! |
| Have no fear for atomic energy |
| 'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a 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 fulfil de book |
| Won’t you help to sing |
| Dese songs of freedom? |
