You sit there in your politician suit
thinking of more ways just to take
with the devil's grin
and your hands buried deep in sin
you steal everything from us
with the promise's you make

While our people bleed
in a broken society
from hunger, despair, and poverty
you fill your hearts with greed
then wonder why we don't trust

You push us aside
treat us as if we came to your land
and took everything from you
though we tried to forgive
still you show no respect for our kind
and treat us with no dignity

Years of genocide
we struggled through
never to leave our own behind
but soon our time will come
as mighty warriors
we will make a stand
changing all that you done
no longer will we hide
in the shadow of the white man
we will once again live

You look at love blind
with your eye's close
slipping farther away
you let it go
then turn around to reach for me
but now I'm gone
you lost everything you know

Days forever pass
we can never rewind
dreams shatter like broken glass
now you're just a silhouette
outside my window
with nothing left for us to find
but tears on a rose

Seems it was harder to try
than it was to forget
so we both go our seperate way
it was the road we chose
with nothing left but good-bye
and tears on a rose

Though a night moon's glare
her breath like mist in the air
she stood in dreams reality
a sweet soul sister
brought upon to me
like a gentle winds breeze
blowing softly through her hair
she brought life back again
free as a wild flower
in a summer's rain
I saw her standing there
with rainbow colors everywhere
a woman shining so fair
dancing like leaves upon trees
through her eye's a stare
the world now sees

In the cold of the night
through the glittering white
of a winter's falling snow
your love shines on me a light
like a silhouettes afterglow


Through the clouds passing by
your beauty burns bright
across that lonely winter sky
that warms me deep inside
in the chilly winds that blow

And when you're miles away
I see your footsteps by my side
as I reach up for that winter sky
and hold you in my dreams tonight
where you will always be and stay
when that winter sky wakes the day

I wanna go where the wind blows
and wild horses run wild and free
I wanna go where the mountaintops snows
in the heat of the desert below
wanna see the sun shining down
on a small desert town
do you wanna come and take a ride with me
I wanna travel back through time
and watch the midnight stars shine
take a ride down a desert road
where the dreams are easy to hold
and with you I wanna lose control
I wanna watch glass shimmering in the desert sand
and take you with me by the hand
with you I just want to be
so pack your bags baby are you ready to go

It's not about the color of our skin
inside it's all the same what we bleed
it's not about those who lose or win
just as long as you give it all your best
it's not about those who can go farther to succeed
some only make it anyway with their greed
it's not about where we have gone
or where it was we have been
just as long as you let love plant the seed
whenever the journey is done
it's not about those who have more
than the others who have less
we all have the same in the end
when it comes our judgment day
it's not about who thinks who is wrong or right
only words will hurt what you say
and it's not about how it was before
because we're all in this together to fight
for what we have here today

I once had a wise old Indian
look at me and say
life is what you make of it son
and it just has yet begun
you can take it and make it
a peaceful world
or you can live it under the gun
but it only comes around once my friend
and it won't be here again
time's of trouble we won't forget
but don't let it eat your soul
for you are Cherokee
be proud and let the pain go

Learn from our people what you can
let them show you the way
set your spirit free
and walk among our elder's
the visions and the dreams
and follow the eagle you see fly
through the valley and streams
let him guide you and show you
oh, mighty warrior with a wolf's heart
and you will live another day
don't let it pass you by

Now I've grown to be a man
teaching the ways of the Cherokee
so much has yet to be done
we walked the trail of tears
still they could'nt make us run
their words kept us apart
as we struggled through the years
but we are Cherokee
mighty warrior's of this land
we walk together hand to hand
and we'll be here til the end
