Stevie Wonder - Redemption Song (Get On The Bus/Soundtrack Version) Lyrics

Old pirates, yes, they robe I
Sold I to the merchant ship
minutes after they took I
from the bottomless pit
but my hand was made strong
by the 'and of the almighty
we forward in this generation
triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom?
´Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
redemption songs.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
Non 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 fulfil the book
Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
redemption songs
