And then you hold me tight, you make me feel alright
Yes when you hold me tight, you made me feel alright

Whoa honey, can’t you see, don’t you believe me
Oh darling, darling, I’m calling, calling
Can’t you see, why won’t you believe me
Oh darling, darling, I’m calling, calling

Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul
That’s all I want you to do, that’s all I’ll take from you
Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul…

By the hand of the almighty

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 for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it’s just a part of it
We’ve got to fulfill the book

Won’t you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had redemption songs, redemption songs, redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds

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

Won’t you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had redemption songs
All I ever had redemption songs, these songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying – one love
Hear the children crying – one heart
Sayin’ give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin’ let’s get together and feel alright

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks – one love
There is one question I’d really love to ask – one heart
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love – what about the one heart?
One heart – what about?
Let’s get together and feel alright
As it was in the beginning – one love
So shall it be in the end – one heart
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right – one more thing

Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon – one love
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom – one song
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin’: one love – what about the one heart?
One heart – what about the… ?
Let’s get together and feel all right
I’m pleading to mankind – one love
Oh Lord – one heart
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right…
