1
Pinestraw on the ground around a fallen Cherokee rose
2
It's got me wonderin' why those mighty winds of change must blow
3
Once this land was free from fences and shotguns
4
Back when the people killed here for food instead of fun
5
When the Earth was sanctified
6
Cherished in the red-man's eyes
7
Before the Cherokee rose
8
The Cherokee rose
9
The Cherokee rose
10
My boots sink down into the soft red Georgia clay
11
Bought with their blood, this land here never was ours to take away
12
Disheartened souls unjustly driven from their homes
13
Many died along the way, now we build our houses upon their bones
14
After all these years
15
I can see the trail of tears
16
Damn this Cherokee rose
17
Oh the Cherokee rose
18
The Cherokee rose
19
Oh they call us the land of the free
20
And the home of the brave
21
But I don't hear much
22
About the injustice that we've done along the way
23
We try to black it out
24
Never think about
25
The price they had to pay
26
We never cry for what was lost
27
Shed a tear for the heavy cost
28
Of what we call "freedom"
29
All the gold in the world couldn't pay the debt we owe
30
We'll never right those wrongs, but I believe we should let them know
31
That we won't forget and sure as hell won't justify
32
And we'll do our best to keep their memories alive
33
Oh the least that we could do
34
Is dedicate one lonesome bloom
35
Won't ya take this Cherokee rose
36
Oh the Cherokee rose
37
The Cherokee rose
38
The Cherokee rose
