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 country 
Because my country is all I know 
I want to be with my family, the people who understand me 
I've got nowhere else to go 

And the river opens for the righteous 
And the river opens for the righteous 
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 
And 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 
And the river opens for the righteous 
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
