Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Old pirates, yes they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pits

[Verse 2]

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

[Verse 3]

Won't you help to sing

Another song of freedom?

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

Redemption song

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

And how long shall the kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

And some say it's just a part of it

Well, we've got to fulfill the book

[Verse 6]

Won't you help to sing

Another song of freedom?

It's all I ever had

Redemption song

Redemption song

Redemption song

[Verse 7]

Wap choo wap choo wap

Come on with me people

Wap choo wap choo wap

Come on with me children

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

How long shall the kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book

[Verse 10]

So, won't you help to sing

Another song of freedom?

It's all I ever had

Redemption song
