In the Land of Hospitality

I met a Cherokee
Who realized our boat was broken down who
Said to me I will get you on your way.
Your journey
Doesn't end because of a catastrophe
With help you will be on your way with no delay.
I met a Cherokee
Filled with generosity
Who helped us on the waterway.
Your journey
Is the key 
To many door ways.
I met a Cherokee
He wasn't a Pawnee
Who helped us get back underweigh.
Your journey
Helps you see the simplicity
Of life which other wise you would of let slip
Away.
I met a Cherokee
On my journey.
