The spirits warned us, many years ago  Of a plague of white, but was not the snow  To lie and cheat and kill for our sacred land  We had no escape, from the great white man  Suffer the innocent, for so many years  We left our blood and souls  Along the trail (of tears)  We tried to resist the best way we knew how  We really had no chance, we all see that now  More and more they came, driven by their greed  We were all exiled, it was their final deed  The trail of tears, driven far from our home  The trail of tears, From where we all belong  On the trail of tears  The trail of tears, driven far from our home  The trail of tears, From where we all belong  Suffer the innocent, for so many years  We left our blood and souls  Along the trail (of tears)  The centuries have passed, since they did appear  On and on they go, we still all live in fear  The trail of tears, driven far from our home  The trail of tears, From where we all belong  The spirits warned us so many years ago  The trail of tears, silence is the warrior's song  The trail of tears, driven far from our home
