Creole Poet Music
Come sit here we’ll pass the pipe, Talk of old days and star-filled nights
Dream of the day when all were one, Dancing beneath hot summer sun
when no-body owed answers to anyone
The Chief knew best and we were free
Living on the land hunting in peace, proud to be called Cherokee
The sound of the Cherokee, cryin out to all humanity
Sailing on the wings of a turtle dove
I send a prayer to the Great Spirit up above
The scent of the deer and clan of the wolf
Flowing like a river of tears east to west
From the Hiwassee to way ‘cross the Mississippi
You still hear the cry of the Cherokee
They came for silver and gold in the soil, putting our lands to labor and toil
Cherokee moved ev'ry woman and man
staking our claim on some other land
By the next green corn dance I’ll walk the trail alone
Stop a while to rest upon a stone
hear the shaman chant, see the raven fly
I can still hear the Cherokee cry
Rise Cherokee people rise May the Great Spirit inspire you
Gifts of sun water and fire, the heart of the Cherokee never dies
hear the cry of the Cherokee
