 OUR TRAIL OF SORROW
Listen with your heart
in the stillness of the night,
Hear our people’s heavy footsteps
in the glow of Brother Moon’s light.
Let us know their hardship
on the trail of many tears,
May we feel their heartache
and the depth of their fears.
Speak up eternal wind
and bring us our people’s cry,
Pierce our heart with their sadness as beside the trail their loved ones lie.
Help us to understand the reason for our brother’s pain,
Teach our hearts to forgive
so in our souls there’ll be no stain.
In memory of our people
let us walk with our head held high,
Let us show to the world
our native spirit will never die.
