REDEMPTION SONG Lyrics

Artist: Jackson Browne (Buy Jackson Browne CDs)
Album: Rare And Live, Volume 1

(from the Concert for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame CD; peformed by Jackson Browne)

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 yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear of atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop 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
