And the rivers shall open for the righteous

And the rivers shall open for the righteous

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...

I was walking with my girlfriend.

She looked so fine, I said

"Baby, what's on your mind?"

Said I want to run like the lions

Released from their cages...

Released from the rages

Burning in my soul tonight.

I am a patriot, and I love my country

Because my country is all I know

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,

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,

And the rivers shall open for the righteous,

And the rivers shall open for the righteous Someday...

Someday...someday...
