2013年美国好声音 Redemption Song - Tessanne Chin

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I

Board the merchant ships

I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it

From the bottomless pit

But my hands were made strong

By the force of the Almighty¹

They don't say that your generation, triumphantly²

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

Emancipate³ yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets

While we stand beside and look

They don't say I'm your generation

Oh, and I say...

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song (2x)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets

While we stand beside and look

Say some say it's just a part of it

You got to fulfill⁴ the book...

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song (2x)
