Redemption Song (Live at The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, 09/23/80)

Yeah!
Yes, this likkle song here is called old pirates, you know
Redemption song

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
Another song of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
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 fullfil the book

Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Sing on with me children

In every way now
In every day
In every way
In every day

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of dem 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 fullfill the book

Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? (Yeah, child)
'Cause all I ever have (Did you know?)
Redemption songs
(Sing the harmony)
Redemption songs
Sing on with me children

In every way now
In every day
In every way now
In every way
