And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous someday
I was walking
With my brother
And he was wondering
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
People who understand me
I've got no place else to go
I was talking
With my sister
She was crying
I said sister 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
Sure 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
I want to be with my family
People who understand me
I've got no place else to go
I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican
I only know one party
And it is
Freedom
