Trail of Tears

Built on lies, we're trodden down No place to call our home A lamenting path that leads to death A people, cursed to roam With swallowed pride we don't look back To see the things we've lost For our trust became our shackles Our blood became the cost They would even take our language Our souls forbidden to speak Promises were made to give us hope Or maybe to appease the weak They took what wasn't ours to give For progress, or so they said When they were busy dividing our land We were busy counting our dead They say that time can heal all wounds That form thoughout the years But scars run deep for those forced to walk The tragic Trail of Tears
