Old pirates yes they rob I
  Sold I to the merchant ships
  Minutes after they took I
  From the bottom less pit
  But my hand was made strong
  By the hand of the almighty
  We forward in this generation
  Triumphantly
  All I ever had is songs of freedom
  Won't you help to sing
  These songs of freedom
  Cause all I ever had
  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
  Some say it's just a part of it
  We've got to fulfill the book
    Won't you help to sing
  These songs of freedom
  Cause all I ever had
  Redemption songs
  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
  Yes some say it's just part of it
  We've got to fulfill the book
    Won't you help to sing
  These songs of freedom
  Cause all I ever had
  Redemption songs
  All I ever had
  Redemption songs
  These songs of freedom
  Songs of freedom
