I Was Raised

[Intro]
Aah aloh aah aloa aah
Aah aloh aah aloa aah
Aloh aloh aloh aloh aah
Aloh aloh aloh aloh aah
Aey yeh lah hoh

[Verse 1]
As a young Indian boy
I was raised
In the true Indian way
Free as the wind
On wings of white clouds
Those were happy days

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw beauty
I saw pain
The winter snow
And summer rain
I saw death
I saw birth
The red of the night
And the green of Earth

[Chorus]
I was raised
With wise spoken words
And gentle hands
I was raised
By the splendor of life
And became a man

[Verse 2]
As a young Indian boy
I was raised
With nature as my guide
Free as a fawn
Along the mountainside
Among the butterflies

[Pre-Chorus]
I would chant
I would pray
Sometimes work
Sometimes play
I would laugh
I would cry
Some of us lived
And some of us died

[Chorus]
I was raised
With wise spoken words
And gentle hands
I was raised
By the splendor of life
And became a man

[Post-Chorus]
I knew no hate
Of human beings
Only love
And simple things
Bathing naked
In a stream
I saw no shame
In running free

[Outro]
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised in Indian ways
I was raised
I was raised
I was raised
I was raised
I was raised
I was raised
