Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: I was brought up by the hands of the lord / Ever since I was a child / He's been with me all the while / I was brought up by the hands of the lord / Mother, don't worry if you have children in Vietnam / For no matter how bad you feel, the war in Vietnam is my god's will / I've been sick and didn't even have the money to pay the doctor bill / Even though I could not afford the bill / I called on the lord and I was healed
