Song Lyrics
All that pain, they had lost their faith
Left them in despair, and now they had to learn
Nowhere they could turn, the white man s greed
They lived in peace, nowhere they could turn Europe, the white man s greed
the white man s greed
That the promises were lies, that the promises were lies
cherokee marching on the trail of tears
the white man s greed
not long ago
Had made them realize, a mighty indian tribe
There was no place to return, they were driven hard, made the nation bleed
A mighty indian tribe, that the promises were lies Europe, there was no place to return
made the nation bleed
And now they had to learn, and now they had to learn, that the promises were lies
And now they had to learn, a mighty indian tribe, had made them realize
Nowhere they could turn, and walked for many moons
across the plains
Nowhere they could turn, and walked for many moons Cherokee, but the winds of change
But the winds of change, they lost their faith
Made them realize, so much to bear
Made the nation bleed, and walked for many moons, had made them realize
