patriot's dream

Singer:guthrie, arlo

living now

here but for fortune

placed by fate's mysterious schemes

who'd believe that we're the ones asked to

try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

arise sweet destiny

time runs short

all of your patience has heard their retort

hear us now

for alone we can't seem

to try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

can you hear the words being whispered

all along the american stream

tyrants freed

the just are imprisoned

try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

ah

but perhaps too much is being asked of too few

you and your children with nothing to do

hear us now

for alone we can't seem

to try to rekindle the patriot's dreams
