• i hear the voice of the cherokee
    crying out in the night
    i hear the voice of the lone wolf answer
    is this also my light

    on the horizen of many moons
    i see the ledgends and hear them speak
    i cry the tears of the cherokee
    they run freely down my cheek

    you cannot take back
    what you have lost...
    or what has been taken from you
    you can only ask the spirits
    to somehow see you through

    for it is written in cherokee blood
    spilled upon the land...
    i am the blood left standing
    i hold the future in my hand

    i will not crawl or gravel
    meekly this time
    but i will not be denied..
    that witch is mine

    my forefathers left the spirits
    to guide me to this place..
    perhaps to prove you
    i am also part of this human race

    so i look in the eye
    meet my gaze forthright
    i am declaring my heritage
    my birth and my right

    i will not speak with tongue that is forked
    i know what i must due
    you do not give me anything
    i have earned my due

    dont stand on your throne of empowerment
    and claim how generouse you have been
    where you have been sinned

    unless you have the blood
    of the cherokee coursing through your veins
    do not pass judgement on me
    do not cursed accusations speak my name

    i am the love that lay in the hearts
    of all cherokee that walked the trail
    i am the love of the cherokee
    when i hear the spirits wail

    take what you will,but remember
    i am protected like you
    and all the spirits of cherokee...
    with your god too

    God of the earth
    God of the sky
    God of the sun and rain
    all the gods of the cherokee...
    know my name

    i have summed the spirits
    to take mercy on your soal
    the spirits have spoken...
    the story is told.
