text: 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
  Wont you help to sing
  These songs of freedom?
  Cause all I ever have
  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?
  Some say its just a part of it
  Weve got to fulfill the book
  So wont you help to sing
  These songs of freedom?
  Cause all I ever have
  Redemption songs
  Cause all I ever have
  Redemption songs
  These songs of freedom
  Redemption songs
  Songs of freedom
