Lyrics
CHEROKEE ROSE
This day I wake breathe in the dark,
Their eye's pierced with visions of truth,
Their lies covered our homes and our hands tied
bounded down with boas so tight.
I hear my child scream so far,
No where to run, no way to fight
Their greed strangled our future so strong
But in this dark, in these screams
I will breathe till the Son rescues me
And oh I will soar, as our spirits rise
The chill so thick, shiver my heart,
Slow down my vision clouded so tired,
I put one foot in front of the other,
Numb I freeze,
Oh God rescue me,
They smirk and they laugh at the tears that run down
But through the smoke, through the steel, through the screams?
I will breathe till the Son rescues me
And oh I will soar as our spirits rise
Here I last thousands gave up,
The trail of blood, the screams echo through,
The fire burning our past and ahead ,
Don?t forget, don?t forget, don?t forget
Cause I?ll be Flyin?,
Through the years I will guide,
Till our people survive,
In your heart you will see.
Don?t forget our spirit's rise.
Through your heart, through your dreams your path will come.
Don?t forget , don?t forget who you are,
In your heart you will see
Come to Me
I will breathe, till the Son rescues me
