Stevie Wonder — Redemption Song

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 'and of the Almighty We fought 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? Oooh! Some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever have: Redemption song Redemption song Redemption song EMANCIPATE yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our mind WoAH! Have no fear for atomic energy 'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a 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 Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? -- 'Cause all I ever had: Redemption songs -- All I ever had: Redemption songs...
