Trail of Tears Lyrics
{Instrumental Intro} (0:00 - 1:03)
[Verse 1]
See the sun as the day is done
Life is of the broken ones
Some will stray as time will come
All their lives they live it well
Red man proud and giving hell
Some stand and shining tall
Can you hear them call?
[Verse 2]
See the sun as it's setting still
Tears fall from a warrior
Damn those who I feel
Set a trail to the promised land
Mother and child holding hand in hand
Through the snow or through the sands
All across the land...
[Chorus]
The full moon's rising from the sky
A warrior's riding
Ride with the wind so far away
The spirits will guide you
No more sorrow, don't look back
Your freedom will follow
You're flying so free, can't you see
On the trail of tears
-Solo-
[Chorus]
The full moon's rising from the sky
A warrior's riding
Ride with the wind so far away
The spirits will guide you
No more sorrow, don't look back
Your freedom will follow
You're flying so free, so can't you see
On the trail of tears
