The Trail

It happened not so long ago
Starting in the southern state
A Promise at first, was promised
Then trust was broken that day

Can you imagine
how you would feel
Told to move where you've lived all your life
Made to pack up
forced to walk many of miles
my goodness look at the strife..

Trails only left
that had run down his face
Trails was left
once we had left our home place
Trails was left
on all of our hearts
Trails was left
forced to make a new start

Some decided
not to go, but to stay
Died with their honor
Last breaths they would take

Others sided with the white man
Forced into slavery
Or die by his hand.

Our world was our own
Then forced into change,
Thought that we never
would look back again

Even though it's our homeland
they didn't care
it was now start of white man
This world they bear

Then all our lives journey began
Just one step at a time
Single steps turn to millions
And at a high cost
all...
