Pete Wyoming Bender - Born to Be Indian lyrics

We all feel so lucky to be what we are How we suffered just to get this far The sole trouble is the color of our skin We're not ashamed to hold up our chins We were born to be Indian Born to be Indian Someone had to take the blame Born to be Indian Born to be Indian Someone had to bear this name This life we are living is all that we know Try to change us will never go We're just as human and we cry real tears All of our pleadings still fall on deaf ears We were born to be Indian Born to be Indian Someone had to take the blame Born to be Indian Born to be Indian Someone had to bear this name
