[G] And the river opens for the righteousness And the river opens for the righteousness
And the river opens for the righteousness _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Someday
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] was walking with my brother And he [C] wondered what's [D] on my _ [C] mind
I [G] said what I believe in my soul, be what I see [C] with my [Em] eyes, and we can [C] turn our back [D] this [C] time.
I [G] am a patriot, and I love my country, because my country is all I [D] know.

[C] Someday, [G] I would [C] come with [G] my sister.
She looked so fine.
[C] I said, baby, what's [G] on your mind?
[C] She said, I want to [G] run like the lion, released from the cage, released [Em] from the cage,
[C] burning in [D] my heart tonight.
[C] _ [G] Yeah, _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] and [Em] I ain't no communist, [C] and I [Em] ain't no capitalist, [C] and I [Em] ain't no socialist,
[C] and I [Em] ain't no [C] inferiorist, and I [Em] ain't no democrat, [C] so [Em] ain't no republican.
[C] I [Em] only know one party, [C] and that [Em] is freedom.
