[Verse 1]
             
Old pirates, y

             
es, they rob I


.
             
Sold I to the 

      
merchant ships
             
 Minutes after

            
 they took I  

          
  from the bot

        
tomless pit.
             
But my hand wa

       
s made strong
          
 By the hand o

        
f the Almighty

.
             
We forward in 

            
this generatio

           
n   triumphant

ly.

[Chorus]
              
Won't you help

            
 to sing      

             
these songs of

 
 freedom?
            
'Cause all I e

            
ver had,      

          
  redemption s

ongs,
           
  redemption s

        
ongs.

[Verse 2]
             
Emancipate you

              
rselves from m

  
ental slavery,
             
None but ourse

           
lves can free 

       
our minds.
             
Have no fear f

            
or atomic ener

gy,
              
'Cause none of

          
 them can stop

      
 the time.
             
How long shall

              
 they kill our

   
 prophets
             
While we stand

        
 aside and loo

k?
             
Some say it's 

        
just a part of

 it.
             
We've got to f

         
ulfill the boo

k.

[Chorus]
              
Won't you help
