And the river opens for the righteous, someday |
|
I was walking with my brother |
|
And he wondered what's on my mind |
|
I said what I believe in my soul |
|
Ain't what I see with my eyes |
|
And we can't turn our backs this time |
|
I am a patriot, and I love my country |
|
Because my country is all I know |
|
I want to be with my family, the people who understand me |
|
I've got nowhere else to go |
|
And the river opens for the righteous |
|
And the river opens for the righteous |
|
And the river opens for the righteous... someday |
|
And I was talking with my sister |
|
She looked so fine |
|
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?" |
|
She said, "I want to run like the lion |
|
Released from the cages |
|
Released from the rages |
|
Burning in my heart tonight" |
|
And I ain't no communist |
|
And I ain't no capitalist |
|
And I ain't no socialist |
|
And I ain't no imperialist |
|
And I ain't no democrat |
|
And I ain't no republican |
|
I only know one party |
|
And it is freedom |
|
I am, I am, I am... |
|
I am a patriot, and I love my country |
|
Because my country is all I know |
|
And the river opens for the righteous |
|
And the river opens for the righteous |
|
And the river opens for the righteous... someday |
