Redemption Song Lyrics - Ben Harper

Old pirates yes they rob I 

Sold I to the merchant ships 

Minutes after they took I 

From the bottom less pit 

But my hand was made strong 

By the hand 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 

'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs 

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 fulfill the book 

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 

'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs 

Redemption songs, redemption songs 

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? 

Yes, some say it's just a part of it 

We've got to fulfill the book
