When I think of
All that was lost
All the pain
And the tears it cost
How can you make up
For so much wrong
The lives you took
Can't be undone
My eyes have seen
All that is gone
The blood of the Indian
This land has known
My heart was wounded
With the Trail Of Tears
Lives wasted
Not forgotten here
(CHORUS)
ONCE IN A WHILE
TEARS COME TO OUR EYES
ONCE IN A WHILE
YOU JUST GOTTA SMILE
ONCE IN A WHILE
TEARS COME TO OUR EYES
BUT ONCE IN A WHILE
THE REDMAN CRIES
Who gave you
The right to choose
The destiny of a people
Here before you
Who was the savage
Just a greedy few
Murdered women and children
The elderly too
Who appointed you
The rightious truth
What you've done
You'll have to pay for soon
Can't you hear their spirits
Calling you
Let Justice be
For them too
(CHORUS)
LEAD BREAK
(CHORUS)
