[verse 1]
I strive to treat my neighbors like my sisters and my brothers
What i don’t want done to me I simply don’t do unto others
I was raised that way
I was raised that way
I don’t give in to temptation when the devil’s on my shoulder
I lean on to my faith - when the world is getting colder
I was raised that way
I was raised that way
[chorus]
Here’s to all the parents 
Who were there to take the time
To to teach us to be human
And show us wrong from right
I’ll honor and i’ll cherish
all the wisdom that they gave
And i thank my lucky stars every day
I was raised that way
[verse 2]
I’m don’t spread the gossip - if it tears somebody down
I celebrate the victory - when i see the lost get found
I was raised that way
I was raised that way
[chorus]
Here’s to all the parents 
Who were there to take the time
To to teach us to be human
And show us wrong from right
I’ll honor and i’ll cherish
all the wisdom that they gave
And i thank my lucky stars every day
I was raised that way
[instrumental]
[bridge]
I choose light over darkness every day
And I own it in my moments of mistakes
[chorus]
Here’s to all the parents 
Who were there to take the time
To to teach us to be human
And show us wrong from right
I’ll honor and i’ll cherish
all the wisdom that they gave
And i thank my lucky stars every day
I was raised that way
Yeh, I was raised that way
