Redemption Song lyrics

[Intro]
One, two

[Verse 1]
Old pirate, yes, them rob I
Sold I to the merchant ship
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We struggle in this generation
Triumphantly

[Chorus]
New York City, won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I've ever had
Redemption song
These songs of freedom

[Verse 2]
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them a-cannot stop a-the time
How long will you kill our prophet
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill that book
Brooklyn, help me sing
These songs of freedom, 'cause all I've ever had
Redemption song
These songs of freedom

[Verse 2]
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them, they can't a-stop a-the time
How long will they kill our prophet
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill that book

[Chorus]
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I've ever had
Redemption song
These songs of freedom

[Outro]
Let's do it for our father to the brink!

A-Ame-rica (God bless America)
A-Ame-rica, (The land of the free and the home of the brave)
A-Ame-rica, (Oh, yeah, yeah, Amer, Amer, America, yeah)
A-Ame-rica (Let your light come shining through, yeah)
New York City, let me see your hands in the air (Ooh, yeah)
A-Ame-rica, (God bless ya, America, yeah, oh, yeah)
God bless Ame-rica (Ah, yes, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah)

Rest in peace, God bless all a y'all
