Spirit Horse of the Cherokee

[00:33.12] The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
[00:46.27] The white men came to trade and borrow
[00:54.52] But then they would not leave
[01:01.83] Some of us were taken by boat and died at sea
[01:14.24] Those of us who lived were sold to slavery
[01:36.93] We welcomed them as brothers
[01:38.99] Knowing nothing of their greed
[01:46.69] Born hunters not the hunted
[01:48.69] As the white man hunts for me
[01:56.36] We are descendants of the animals
[01:59.06] We live among the free
[02:06.33] Our trail of tears
[02:09.04] Would end one day at Wounded Knee
[02:13.74] Great spirit, thunder birds fly
[02:18.02] We are wild and free
[02:22.37] To fight and die by the open sky
[02:27.08] Spirit Horse ride for me
[02:47.30] When we do the Ghost Dance
[02:49.84] The buffalo will return
[02:57.10] Paint ourselves for war
[02:59.77] Now blood and fire burn
[03:07.06] Great Spirit make us strong
[03:09.97] Take us to the sky
[03:17.37] The Cherokee are brave
[03:19.73] We are not afraid to die
[03:24.30] Great Spirit, thunder birds fly
[03:29.03] We are wild and free
[03:33.30] To fight and die by the open sky
[03:37.72] Spirit Horse ride for me
[03:53.73] Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Sitting Bull
[03:58.44] Crazy Horse, Geronimo
[04:03.04] Strong and brave warriors to the grave
[04:13.11] There has been much killing
[04:15.46] There will be much more
[04:18.18] The medicine man is dancing
[04:20.66] He's calling us to war
[04:23.49] Hatchets sing with pride
[04:25.87] Let the white man die
[05:49.25]
