Vers. 1

They lived in peace,not long ago

mighty indian tribe

 [BDC]But the winds of change,

Made them realize, that the promises were lies [c]

Vers. 2

The white man's greed, in search of gold

Made the nation bleed

[EDC]They lost their faith

And now they hade to learn

 There was no place to return

Nowhere they could turn.

Cherokee marching on the trail of tears.

Vers. 3

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.

Vers. 4

So much to bear, all that pain

Left them in despair

They lost their faith

And now they hade to learn

There was no place to return

Nowhere they could turn.
