Cherokee

Cherokee

You were wild and you were free

You were sons of destiny

But the white man came and took your land away

You were fire you were flame

You were blood inside thy vein

How he brought you pain the day he came to stay

I hear you howling through the night

The wind is cold the moon is like Flame

The cry of sorrow brings the light

And wakes a vengeance in your heart

Cherokee running free

You ride into the sky

Where your spirit lives forever

You were young but you were wise

You were smoke that always rise

How they put you down and spat upon your name

You were snow and you were rain

You were one without a chain

But they changed your life and gave you all the blame

The sound of thunder breaks the ice

Ten thousand riding side by side

The time has come to end the fight

For their freedom for their right

Cherokee running free

You ride into the sky

Where your spirit lives forever

Cherokee running free

You ride into the sky

Where your freedom lasts forever

The fire burns tonight

We all recall the fight

Where blood were shed without a reason

Two hundred years have passed since he stood on shore

And raped your land down to the core

Cherokee running free

You ride into the sky

Where your spirit lives forever

Cherokee running free

You ride into the sky

Where your freedom lasts forever
