The Chieftains Redemption Song (with Ziggy Ma Lyrics

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 hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had- redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourself 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
Ooh~ 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
Redemption songs, redemption songs
