Redemption Song Lyrics - Tessanne Chin

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 'and of the Almighty. 

We forward in this generation 

Triumphantly. 

Won't 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? Ooh! 

Some say it's just a part of it: 

We've got to fulfil de book. 

Won't you help to sing 

These songs of freedom? - 

'Cause all I ever have: 

Redemption songs; 

Redemption songs; 

Redemption songs.
