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
