| 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 moons are fading
|
| The pride and sorrow curse the light
|
| And wakes a vengeance in your heart
|
| You were young but you were wise
|
| You were smoke that always raised
|
| How they put you down and spit upon your name
|
| You were snow and you were rain
|
| You would walk without a shame
|
| But they changed your life and gave you all the blame
|
| The sound of thunder breaks the arch
|
| 10 000 riders side by side
|
| The time has come to end the fight
|
| For their freedom, for their right
|
| Ch:
|
| 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
|
| 200 years have passed since you stood ashore
|
| And raped your land down to the core
