White Lion - CHEROKEE lyrics

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

10000 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

Ch

Repeat Ch
