Redemption Song (Bob Marley cover)

		
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 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 fullfill the book

  	         	   		
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
         	     	       	    
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
