Intro :
They lived in peace not long ago
a mighty Indian tribe
but the winds of c hang e ha ve made them realize
that the pro mises were lies
The white man's greed in search of gold
made the nation b leed
They had lost their f aith and now they had to learn
there was no place to re turn nowhere they cou ld turn
Cherokee ma rchi ng on the trail of tears
Cherokee ma rchi ng on the trail of tears
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
So much to bear, all that pain
Left them in despair.
