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
