Cherokee - Hear lyrics

Ooh, oh, oh, ooh, yeah Oh, you were wild and you were free, you were sons of destiny But the White Man came and took your land away You were fire, 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 moon is like a flame You cry our sorrow, hopes alike And wakes a vengeance in your heart 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 You were young but you were wise, you were smoke that always raised How he put you down and spat upon your name You were snow, oh, you were rain, you would walk without a chain But he changed your life and gave you all the blame The sound of thunder breaks the arch Ten thousand ridin', side by side The time has come to end the fight, oh For their freedom, for their rights, yeah 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 Two hundred years have pa**ed since you stood ashore And raped your land down to the core 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 Oh, Cherokee, you're riding free, you ride into the sky Where your spirit lives forever, oh Cherokee, you're riding free, you ride into the sky Where all your freedom lasts forever, oh, oh, oh
