1. Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottom less pit

But my hands was made strong

By the hands of Almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

Won't you help me sing...

R: These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption songs

Redemption songs...

2. Emancipate yourselves from mental slav'ry

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear to atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How lon shall they kill our propeths

While when we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book...

R: These songs of freedom...
