[00:33.85]They lived in peace, not long ago [00:38.25]A mighty Indian tribe [00:42.50]But the winds of change, [00:44.63]Made them realize, that the promises were lies. [00:49.65] [00:51.14]The white man's greed, in search of gold [00:55.45]Made the nation bleed [00:59.82]They lost their faith [01:02.08]And now they hade to learn [01:03.99]There was no place to return [01:06.59]Nowhere they could turn. [01:09.76] [01:11.20]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [01:19.65]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.

[01:50.70] [01:51.63]So much to bear, all that pain [01:56.14]Left them in despair [02:00.17]They lost their faith [02:02.51]And now they hade to learn [02:04.69]There was no place to return [02:06.93]Nowhere they could turn [02:11.67]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [02:20.16]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [03:25.15]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [03:33.63]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [03:42.42]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. [03:50.97]Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears.
