Old pirates yes they rob ISold 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 almightyWe forward in this generation triumphantlyAll I ever had is songs of freedomWon't you help to sing these songs of freedom Cause all I ever had redemption songs, redemption songs. Emancipate yourselves from mental slaveryNone 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 itWe've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedomCause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs, redemption songs. Emancipate yourselves from mental slaveryNone but ourselves can free our mindsHave no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them can stop the timeHow long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look. Yes some say it's just part of itWe'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--
