Oh, pirates yes they rob us,

sold I to the merchant ships.

minutes after they took I,

from the bottomless pit.



But my hand it was made strong,

by the hand of the almighty.

He fought in this generation,

triumphantly.



Won't you help to sing,

these songs of freedom

It's all I ever had,

redemption songs



Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,

none but outselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

'cause none o'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 fullfill the book.



Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom

It's all I ever had, redemption songs
