I Come From
I Come From:
I come from people of great resolve;
With endurance to survive.
Worry not one day for me;
For I am my peoples' child.
I come from a tribe of strength;
Do not underestimate me.
We carry hopes within our hearts;
Because we are Tsalagi.
I come from a family of perseverance;
With nomadic tendencies.
My life is quite a journey;
For I get my courage honestly.
I come from a place within myself;
Of balance and harmony.
No matter the path that I am on;
So are the ways of the Cherokee.
