Redemption Song Lyrics
[00:35.49] Old pirates, yes, they rob I
[00:41.44] Sold I to the merchant ships
[00:46.26] Minutes after they took I
[00:51.71] From the bottomless pit
[00:54.77] But my hand was made strong
[01:00.89] By the hand of the Almighty
[01:04.31] We forward in this generation
[01:10.47] Triumphantly
[01:14.61] Won't you help to sing
[01:19.46] These songs of freedom?
[01:23.74] 'Cause all I ever have
[01:29.86] Redemption songs
[01:34.17] Redemption songs
[01:49.27] Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
[02:02.84] None but ourselves can free our minds
[02:07.57] Have no fear for atomic energy
[02:12.17] 'Cause none of them can stop the time
[02:16.68] How long shall they kill our prophets
[02:20.63] While we stand aside and look? Ooh
[02:25.74] Some say it's just a part of it
[02:30.29] We've got to fullfil the book
[02:35.36] Won't you help to sing
