作曲 : Shawn Michael McDonald I was raised in Oregon By the mountains and the streams Raised by the rugged The wild and the free And I'm a dreamer of Better days to come Behind the lion That said it wasn't afraid Spend many evenings Crying through the night We will seaching How to get a life right Oh you never know Where life can go If you don't let down your fear Oh you'll never find What you're searching for Until you learn how How to set it free My parents left me When I was really young They left me in deal With the setting of the sun But I held my head high I said by goodbyes And moved on My grandparents picked up The pieces where they fell They told me that everyone Got a story to tell And we're all searching For someone to belong Oh you never know Where life can go If you don't let down your fear Oh you'll never find What you're searching for Until you learn how How to set it free Well I once heard a wise man say That if you want love you gotta give it away Cuz the hope life when it comes, we'll sacrifice And those of you who lose it, find life Gotta set it free I was raised in Oregon By the mountains and the streams Raised by the rugged The wild and the free And I'm a dreamer of better days to come
