Trail Where They Cried
Genres
Lyrics
Forced to march 1000 miles People taken from their land 50 years had come and gone Claiming equal rights for every man Hear the silence of their voices Feel the sadness in their hearts As the horses started walking Carrying their wooden carts CHORUS: One hundred thousand moving west A government that lied Many lost along the way On the trail where they cried Old men riding ponies Followed by the younger men Left their homes in Georgia Some were never seen again Many treaties have been written Many criticized “I’d sooner be honestly damned Than hypocritically immortalized.” CHORUS BRIDGE: The year was 1838 and the Cherokee had done their part History will never be kind to the men with hateful hearts FIRST VERSE & CHORUS
