Redemption Song ft. Joe Strummer Lyrics

Redemption Song - Johnny Cash

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pits

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 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 got to fulfil The Book

So, won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have redemption songs

Redemption songs

Redemption songs

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pits

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?

Here some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfil The Book

So, won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have redemption songs

All I ever have redemption songs

These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
