Bob Marley & The Wailers - Redemption Song (Band Version) Lyrics

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
Redemption song

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

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfil the book

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
Won't you help to sing redemption song?
Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Yeah, that's me
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfil the book

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
All I ever had, redemption song
All I ever had, redemption song
