Redemption Song Lyrics - Jackson Browne

(from the Concert for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame CD; peformed by Jackson Browne) 

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 

We forward in this generation triumphantly 

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 of 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
