And the rivers shall open for the righteous (repeat)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go I am a patriot seems right.
I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight I am a patriot
And I ain't no communist,
and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist,
and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat,
I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party,
and that 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 rivers shall open for the righteous (repeat)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday
