Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - I Am A Patriot lyrics

rate me

Song by Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul<br /><br>

And the river opens for the righteous, someday<br>

<br>

I was walking with my brother<br>

And he wondered what was on my mind<br>

I said what I believe in my soul<br>

It ain't what I see with my eyes<br>

And we can't turn our backs this time<br>

<br>

I am a patriot and I love my country<br>

Because my country is all I know<br>

I want to be with my family<br>

With people who understand me<br>

I got nowhere else to go<br>

I am a patriot<br>

<br>

And the river opens for the righteous, someday<br>

<br>

I was talking with my sister<br>

She looked so fine<br>

I said baby what's on your mind<br>

She said I want to run like the lion<br>

Released from the cages<br>

Released from the rages<br>

Burning in my heart tonight<br>

<br>

I am a patriot and I love my country<br>

Because my country is all I know<br>

<br>

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no capitalist<br>

And I ain't no socialist<br>

and I sure ain't no imperialist<br>

And I ain't no democrat<br>

And I ain't no republican either<br>

And I only know one party<br>

and its name is freedom<br>

I am a patriot<br>

<br>

And the river opens for the righteous, someday<br>

<br>
