Old pirates, yes, they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after day took I From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong By the hand 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?
Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book

Redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
