verse
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
But my hand was made strong
By the hands of the almighty
We forward in this generation
verse
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 fulfill the book
chorus
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
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
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Songs of redemption, ooh (Redemption songs)
Songs of redemption, ooh (The songs of freedom)
