Redemption Song

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two [Verse 1] Old pirate, yes, them rob I Sold I to the merchant ship Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the Almighty We struggle in this generation Triumphantly [Chorus] New York City, won't you help me sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I've ever had Redemption song These songs of freedom [Verse 2] Emancipate yourself from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our mind Have no fear for atomic energy For none of them a-cannot stop a-the time How long will you kill our prophet While we stand aside and look? Ooh Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill that book Brooklyn, help me sing These songs of freedom, 'cause all I've ever had Redemption song These songs of freedom [Verse 2] Emancipate yourself from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our mind Have no fear for atomic energy For none of them, they can't a-stop a-the time How long will they kill our prophet While we stand aside and look? Ooh Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill that book [Chorus] Won't you help me sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I've ever had Redemption song These songs of freedom [Outro] Let's do it for our father to the brink!
