Redemption Song

Ole 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've ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I've ever had
Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for this racist system
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our children
While we stand aside and look
Yes 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've ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I've ever had
Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for this racist system
'Cause none of them can stop the times
How long shall they kill the children
While we stand aside and look
Well, 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've ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I've ever had
Redemption song

Redemption song
Mr. slave driver
How do you go on living
When the children are dying
Four hundred years of slavery
And the children are still crying
Redemption song

Mr. Martin Luther King
Mr. Malcolm X
Marcus Garvey
Thomas Sankara
Patrice Lumumba
Kwame Nkrumah
Haile Selassie
Nelson Mandela

Another song of freedom
Another song of freedom
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
Redemption song
