Trail of Tears They walked along this dusty trail Broken bones and broken dreams Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers And dreamt of finer things: (Of) the dignity that holds a man That steels him for the fray The fire that burns within his soul That none might simply cast away …and I have no home… (Chorus) Walk on, walk on Rest beside me with your fears Carry me, if I have fallen On this lonely Trail of Tears Walk in front of empty wagon That clatter their protest And push us ever, ever onward A road, there is no rest And leave us now to carry them Love in our arms and on back I lay next to my only child Whose sleep will never end He is home… (Chorus) I dreamed I saw the holy ones Rapt in splendor watching down on me Great Spirit rise to meet me Our nation in our hearts (Chorus)
