Cherokee Lyrics
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 and 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's a flame
Your cry of sorrow comes alight
And wakes a vengeance in your heart
You were young but you were wise
You were smoke that always raised
How he put you down and spit upon your name
You were snow and you were rain
You were one without a chain
But he 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
[Chorus]
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
Two hundred years have passed since he stood on shore
And raped your land down to the core
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
You were sons of destiny
But the white man came and took your land away
You were fire and you were flame
You were blood inside thy vein
How he brought you pain the day he came to stay
The wind is cold, the moon's a flame
Your cry of sorrow comes alight
And wakes a vengeance in your heart
You were smoke that always raised
How he put you down and spit upon your name
You were snow and you were rain
You were one without a chain
But he changed your life and gave you all the blame
Ten thousand riding side by side
The time has come to end the fight
For their freedom, for their right
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
We all recall the fight
Where blood was shed without a reason
Two hundred years have passed since he stood on shore
And raped your land down to the core
