Redemption Song — текст песни (Stevie Wonder)

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 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 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 fulfil de book.

Won`t you help to sing
Dese 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.
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 fulfil de book.
Won`t 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.
