A Trail of Tears

a trail of tears
remembering the years
hold back the pain...
hold back the tears
remembering the journey
why we're here

the missississippi dirt
the waters of misha sopokni
the red clay of okla homma
reflects the beauty of creation
so many manifestations
so many different stages

from powwows to palm trees
from a tower near the nile river
scared to death
don't let me fall
from the other side of the israeli apartied wall
i feel my heart beat
my heart paces as fast as a cars competing in races
life - i taste it

a trail of tears continues on
longing to remember
never forget
