Cherokee

Cherokee - White Lion

You were wild and you were free

You would search your destiny

But the white man came and took your land away

You were fire and you were flame

You were blood inside that vein

How he brought you fame the day he came to stay

I hear you howling through the night

The wind is cold the moon is like a flame

You cry our sorrow hopes alike

And wakes a vengeance in your heart

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

You were young

But you were wise you were smoke that always raised

How he put you down and spat upon your name

You were snow oh you were rain you would walk without a chain

But he changed your life and gave you all the blame

The sound of thunder breaks the arch

Ten thousand ridin' side by side

The time has come to end the fight oh

For their freedom for their rights yeah

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 you stood ashore

And raped your land down to the core

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 oh

Cherokee you're riding free you ride into the sky

Where your spirit lives forever oh

Cherokee you're riding free you ride into the sky

Where all your freedom lasts forever oh oh oh
