Jackson Browne - Redemption Song текст песни

(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

Wont 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 its just a part of it

Weve got to fulfill the book
