Trail Of Tears

Take me from these earth bound chains

I must find it once again

The meaning of equality

We will never hide in shame

But forever guard the flame

Burning for eternity

Hundreds of nights

Oh, my body cries

A trail of tears

Promises sometimes don't keep

Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know

(I lay my body down)

Written with the words you tell

Stories, a lesson in life from long ago

Hold on, hold dear

The time is near

When you'll know why

The spirit flies

Children carried on your back

Driven through the wind and cold

How have you become so few

But in the end, oh, I will see

Your spiritual liberty

Forever to be with you
