Too many broken promises

Too many Trail of Tears

Too many times you were left cold

For oh so many years



Too many times you walked away

And was made to feel ashamed

And though you only tried to give

You were often blamed



How can this world be so dark

So unfair and so untrue

How did the cards of life

Fold right on top of you



God in Heaven, hear my prayer

If you are still above

Send the children hopes and dreams

And lots and lots of love

For this I only ask of you

To conquer all their fears

And let them soar like eagles

Across the Trail of Tears
