Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
So ld I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
F rom the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
B y the hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
T riumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
T hese songs of freedom?
'Cause a ll I ever have:
R edemption songs,
R edemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ours elves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of t hem can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we st and aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've go t to fulfill the Book.
Won't you help to sing
T hese songs of freedom?

None but o urselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of t hem-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we st and aside and look?
