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 Hand of the Almighty.
We forward* in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont 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? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill de book.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery**;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! 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 its just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill de book.
Wont you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
*Should this word be "flowered" (as in prospered or come to fruition)?

This is a great song.
I also wanted to add that I like the new look of your blog. Looks like I have some catching up to do. I usually see your posts immediately because of my rss reader (I use google reader) but I have been neglecting that of late.
I've seen the quote by Kepler in your header and I think it is very appropriate. Keep blogging!
Stu,
Thanks for your kind comments. As soon as I decide which site to host my audio files, I will start putting a link to the actual song so that one may listen while one reads the lyrics.
Jim.
