Old pirates, yes, they rob I;Sold I to the merchant ships,Minutes after they took IFrom the bottomless pit.But my hand was made strongBy the hand of the Almighty.We forward in this generationTriumphantly.All i ever had is songs of freedomWon't you help to singThese songs of freedom'Cause all I ever have:Redemption songsRedemption songsEmancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our minds.Have no fear for atomic energy,'Cause none of them can stop the timeHow long shall they kill our prophets,While we stand aside and lookSome say it's just a part of it:We've got to fulfill de book.Won't you help to singThese songs of freedom'Cause all I ever have:Redemption songsRedemption songsRedemption songs(Guitar break)Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our mind.Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-the timeHow 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 fulfil the book.Won't you help to singThese songs of freedom? -'Cause all I ever had:Redemption songs -All I ever had:Redemption songs:These songs of freedom,Songs of freedom.
