| The spirits warned us, many years ago
|
| Of a plague of white, but was not the snow
|
| To lie and cheat and kill for our sacred land
|
| We had no escape, from the great white man
|
| Suffer the innocent, for so many years
|
| We left our blood and souls
|
| Along the trail (of tears)
|
| We tried to resist the best way we knew how
|
| We really had no chance, we all see that now
|
| More and more they came, driven by their greed
|
| We were all exiled, it was their final deed
|
| The trail of tears, driven far from our home
|
| The trail of tears, From where we all belong
|
| On the trail of tears
|
| The trail of tears, driven far from our home
|
| The trail of tears, From where we all belong
|
| Suffer the innocent, for so many years
|
| We left our blood and souls
|
| Along the trail (of tears)
|
| The centuries have passed, since they did appear
|
| On and on they go, we still all live in fear
|
| The trail of tears, driven far from our home
|
| The trail of tears, From where we all belong
|
| The spirits warned us so many years ago
|
| The trail of tears, silence is the warrior’s song
|
| The trail of tears, driven far from our home |
