Old pirates y es they rob I
Sold I to the merc hant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bott omless pit
But my hand w as made strong
By the hand o f the almighty
We for ward in this generati on triu mphantly
Wo n't you help to sing these songs of free dom
Cause all I ever had r edemptio n songs
R edempt ion son gs
Emancipate yourselv es from mental slavery
None b ut ourselves can free our minds
Have n o fear for atomic energy
Cause none of the m can sto p the time
How lon g shall they kill o ur prophets
Wh ile we sta nd asid e and look
Some say it's just a p art of it
We've got to fullf ill the b ook
Wo n't you help to sing these songs of free dom
Cause all I ever had r edemptio n songs
