Lyrics Redemption Song - Cornell Campbell

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?
-
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs —
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
