Along The Trail Of Tears

Along The Trail Of Tears
a song by Stephen Wayne
For Mon Cherrie... Unknown Cree and the Cherokee Nation

"Along the trail of tears...
A nation walks with fears...
Their homeland gone...
Their hearts like stone...
The Cherokee walk here...
Their blood upon the snow...
Their bones so bitter cold...
They bleed they die...
Their souls they cry...
The Cherokee walk here...
And this will never end...
As long as there is wind...
The leaves will fall...
Their songs will call...
Along the trail of tears...
The Cherokee walk here..."
Stephen

"Forgive me... my brothers... my sisters...

I could not die with you... I was not yet born...

But I only live to die after you... as we all do...

Then I will see you... in the forest and fields...

In the mountain meadows... by the roaring rivers...

On nunna daul tsuny... in the day of the blooming...

Of the Cherokee Rose!"
