1. Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less pit
But my hands was made strong
By the hands of Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help me sing...

R: These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs...

2. Emancipate yourselves from mental slav'ry
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear to atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How lon shall they kill our propeths
While when we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book...

R: These songs of freedom...
