[EvanBlackwood]

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 went walking, with my girlfriend
she looked so fine, i said baby what's on your mind
she said i wanna run like the lions
released from their cages
released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...i am a patriot...
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, i 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, someday...
