Patriot's Dream Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Living now, here, but for fortune 

Placed by fates mysterious schemes 

Whod believe that were the ones asked 

To try to rekindle the patriots dream 

Arise, sweet destiny, time runs short 

All of your patience has heard their retort 

Hear us now, for alone we cant seem 

To try to rekindle the patriots dream 

Can you hear the words being whispered 

All along the American stream? 

Tyrants freed, the just are imprisoned 

To try to rekindle the patriots dream 

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 cant seem 

To try to rekindle the patriots dream
