|
You were wild and you were free |
|
You would search your destiny |
|
But the white man came and took your land away |
|
You were fire and you were flame |
|
You were blood inside that (vein) |
|
How he brought you fame the day he came to stay |
|
I hear you howling through the night |
|
The wind is cold the moons are fading |
|
The pride and sorrow curse the light |
|
And wakes a vengeance in your heart |
|
You were young but you were wise |
|
You were smoke that always raised |
|
How they put you down and spit upon your name |
|
You were snow and you were rain |
|
You would walk without a shame |
|
But they changed your life and gave you all the blame |
|
The sound of thunder breaks the arch |
|
10000 riders side by side |
|
The time has come to end the fight |
|
For their freedom, for their right |
|
Ch: |
|
Cherokee, riding free |
|
You ride into the sky |
|
Where your spirit lives forever |
|
Cherokee, riding free |
|
You ride into the sky |
|
Where all your freedom lasts forever |
|
The fire burns tonight |
|
We all recall the fight |
|
Where blood was shed without a reason |
|
200 years have passed since you stood ashore |
|
And raped your land down to the core |
