"Redemption Song" lyrics - O.A.R.

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the all-mighty
We forward in this generation, triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

Emancipate yourself 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 killed our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Oh, 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
Oh, some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Wont you help to sing
Another song of freedom man
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
All I ever had
