Redemption Song Lyrics
Old pirate, yes, them rob I, sold I to the merchant ship
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
We struggle in this generation triumphantly
New York City, won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them a cannot stop the time
How long will you kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
Brooklyn, help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them they can't a stop for the time
How long will they kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
We struggle in this generation triumphantly
New York City, won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them a cannot stop the time
How long will you kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
Brooklyn, help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy for none of them they can't a stop for the time
How long will they kill our prophet while we stand aside and look, ooh
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil that book
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom, cause all I've ever had
Redemption song, these songs of freedom
