Redemption Song

All the pirates, yeah, they rob them

Sold them on to the merchant ship

Minutes after they took them

From the bottomless pit

But their hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty

They flourished in this generation

Triumphantly

Won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear of atomic power

'Cause nothing can stem the tide

How long will they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

Some say it's all a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption song

Won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all we ever have

Redemption song

All we ever have

Redemption song

All we ever have

Redemption song

All we ever have

Redemption song

Redemption song
