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 |

Well, far between sundowns finish and midnights broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun Sayin, it may be the chimes of freedom crashin Flashin for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashin for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight And for each and every underdog soldier in the night We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin Well, in the citys melted furnace unexpectedly we watched With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin Yeah, tollin for the rebel, yeah, tollin for the raked Tollin for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked Yeah, tollin for the outcasts burnin constantly at stakes And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed Theres a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin Well, electric light still struck like arrows Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin Well, tollin for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin Well, starry eyed and laughin I recall when we were caught Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin ended ?" Yeah, tollin for the achin ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin |

Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side. Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side. Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side. Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side. When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side. I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side. But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side. In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war |

There they are now The master of lawThrowing flowers on a casket of our broken dreams Most thieves are silent But these ones scream These ones scream We want it all We want it all I heard you talkin' my friend I think you lost your mind That somebody's listenin' And then biding their time Somebody's watchin' Cause we wouldn't fight For someone else's war Could you hold on a second For a second someone's at my door Screaming hate is love And fiction is fact Honesty is deceit That silence is security And war is peace Cause we want it all We want it all |

Boom I've been walking through your streets where all your money is earned where all your buildings are crying And clueless neckties working revolving fake lawn houses desensitized by TV and all your crooked creatures looking good housing all your fears |

Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they're red, whit and blue. And when the band plays "Hail to the chief", they point the cannon right at you. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no senator's son. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no fortunate one. Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord don't they help themselves. But when the tax man comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no millionaire's son. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no fortunate one. Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send you down to war. And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" They only answer "More! More! More!" It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no military son. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no fortunate one. It ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't no Fortunate Son. |

I was walkin’ down the street In the town where I was born I was movin’ to a beat That I’d never felt before So I opened up my eyes And I took a look around I saw it written ‘cross the sky The revolution starts now Yeah, the revolution starts now The revolution starts now When you rise above your fear And tear the walls around you down The revolution starts here Where you work and where you play Where you lay your money down What you do and what you say The revolution starts now Yeah the revolution starts now Yeah the revolution starts now In your own backyard In your own hometown So what you doin’ standin’ around? Just follow your heart The revolution starts now Last night I had a dream That the world had turned around And all our hopes had come to be And the people gathered ‘round They all brought what they could bring And nobody went without And I learned a song to sing The revolution starts now |

My mother came to America
Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams Back in the Thirties With the streets paved in gold And the sky laced with moonbeams Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons Here in the free world, we're the lucky ones All of my yearning All of my hunger Maybe I'm learning Sometimes I wonder Good night, New York Before the Kennedys Before the Beatles Before the Vietnam War Back to a time when anything was possible Having less meant knowing more Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts Here in the free world, for that second chance All of my yearning All of my hunger Maybe I'm learning Sometimes I wonder Good night, New York My mother came to America Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams And here in the future I hope I've not failed her Cause nothing's the way that it seems All of my yearning All of my hunger Maybe I'm learning Sometimes I wonder Good night, New York |

i heard there was a secret chord that david played and it pleased the lord but you don't really care for music, do you well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth the minor fall and the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah hallelujah... well your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to her kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah hallelujah... baby i've been here before i've seen this room and i've walked this floor i used to live alone before i knew you i've seen your flag on the marble arch but love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah hallelujah... well there was a time when you let me know what's really going on below but now you never show that to me do you but remember when i moved in you and the holy dove was moving too and every breath we drew was hallelujah well, maybe there's a god above but all i've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah hallelujah... |
