[ Featuring the Wailers ]
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 hand of the Almighty
Forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever have
Is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing
Sweet songs of freedom?
Redemption songs
Emancipate ourselves 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? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
Won't you help to sing
Redemption song?
Redemption song
Emancipate ourselves 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 helplessly?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
All I ever have
Redemption song
All I ever have
Redemption song
Emancipate ourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time
