I Am a Patriot

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 county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
People who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go
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
So 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
Someday
And the river opens for the righteous
I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
I said what I believe in my soul
It ain't what I see with my eyes
Someday
