The Cherokee Trail

Last Updated: 19 years This path was covered with tears from the start,

Weeping for the life of a great nation torn apart.Ripped and scattered from our mother land,

Wiping tears from their faces while hearts turned to stone.

The future stolen by the white men’s lies,

On this journey we call the trail where they cried…
