Patriot Lyrics

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 was walking with my brother,

And he wondered, oh how I am.

Said what I believe in 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.

Wanna be with my family,

People who understand me.

I got no place else to go.

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...
