Trail Of Tears lyrics

Take me from these earth bound chains I must find it once again The meaning of equality We will never hide in shame But forever guard the flame Burning for eternity Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Promises sometimes don't keep Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know (I lay my body down) Written with the words you tell Stories, a lesson in life from long ago Hold on, hold, dear The time is near When you'll know why The spirit flies Children carried on your back Driven through the wind and cold How have you become so few But in the end, oh, I will see Your spiritual liberty Forever to be with you
