You were wild and you were free You would search your destiny But
the white man came and took your land away You were fire and 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 moons are fading The pride and sorrow
curse the light And wakes a vengeance in your heart You were
young but you were wise You were smoke that always raised How
they put you down and spit upon your name You were snow and you
were rain You would walk without a shame But they changed your
life and gave you all the blame The sound of thunder breaks the
arch 10000 riders side by side The time has come to end the
fight For their freedom, for their right Ch: 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 200 years have
passed since you stood ashore And raped your land down to the
core Ch Repeat Ch
