O.A.R. - Redemption Song lyrics

Old pirates yes they rob I Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pits But my hand was made strong By the hand of the all-mighty We forward in this generation, triumphantly Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Emancipate yourself 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 k**ed our prophets While we stand aside and look Some say its just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Emancipate yourself from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Oh, have no fear for atomic energy Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they k** our prophets While we stand aside and look Oh, some say its just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing Another song of freedom man Cause all I ever had, redemption songs These songs of freedom These songs of freedom All I ever had
