Cherokee
They lived in peace, not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change,
Have made them realize
That the promises were lies
The white man's greed
In search of gold
Made the nation bleed
They have lost their faith
And now they had 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
And all that pain
Left them in despair
They have lost their faith
And now they had 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
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change,
Have made them realize
That the promises were lies
The white man's greed
In search of gold
Made the nation bleed
They have lost their faith
And now they had 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
And all that pain
Left them in despair
They have lost their faith
And now they had 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
