They lived in peace , not long ago

A mighty Indian tribe

But the winds of change ,

Made them realize , that the promises were lies.

The white man's greed , in search of gold

Made the nation bleed

They lost their faith

And now they hade to learn

There was no place to return

Nowhere they could turn.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

They were driven hard , across the plains

And walked for many moons

Cause the winds of change ,

Had made them realize , that the promises were lies.

So much to bear , all that pain

Left them in despair

They lost their faith

And now they hade to learn

There was no place to return

Nowhere they could turn

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.
