Raised Lyrics by Melody Federer
For Cassie
I cried when I found out you were a girl
‘Cause I’ve been dodging stones in this cruel world
We’re on our own, own
I started us a fire with my last smoke
And I built a burning house with my last hope
You oughta know, oh
I’m running through the blood in your veins
You were raised by the hands of a mother
You were raised to run into the thunder
Know your name
Face the rain
You were raised to believe in the fire
You were raised to hold your head higher
You were raised
You were raised
Growing through the cracks just like a rose
Cutting through the hate like an arrow
You’re on your own, own
When the heavy nights are just too much to hold
Honey, I will be your shelter from the cold
I want you to know, know
I’m running through the blood in your veins
You were raised by the hands of a mother
You were raised to run into the thunder
Know your name
And face the rain
You were raised to believe in the fire
You were raised to hold your head higher
You were raised
You were raised
I’m running through the blood in your veins
When you’re shaking on your legs
I’m running through the blood in your veins
When you don’t know how much to take
You were raised by the hands of a mother
You were raised to run into the thunder
To know your name
Face the rain
You were raised to believe in the fire
You were raised to hold your head higher
You were raised
You were raised
