| Old Pirates, yes they rob I. |
| Sold I to the merchant ships |
| minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit. |
| But my hand was made strong |
| By the hand of the Almighty. |
| We forward in this generation triumphantly. |
| Chorus: |
| 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? Ohhh |
| Yes, 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 ohhh |
| 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 a part of it. |
| We've got to fulfill the book. |
