Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sweet eyes of my father
In my own eyes, I can see
Vision of the aged
Cherokee (Cherokee)
[Verse 2]
Sweet, sacred inspiration
That he passes on to me
Heartbeat of the gentle
Cherokee (Cherokee)
[Verse 3]
And I heard him say
That's just the way love is
When love is bliss
[Verse 4]
And we will walk a mighty circle
Double cross the hands of time
Laugh and we'll cry as egos die
Till we get to the other side
Put on our wings and fly
[Verse 5]
The soul of sweet forgiveness
Walks his path with dignity
With wisdom of the aged
Living Cherokee (Cherokee)
[Verse 6]
I come from his deep water
As much like him as I can be
And I carry to my own children
The promise of the Cherokee
[Verse 7]
And I heard him pray
That everywhere God is
Let freedom live
[Verse 8]
And we will walk that sacred circle
Double cross the hands of time
As nations die and hearts unite
Till we get to the other side
Put on our wings and fly
[Verse 9]
Song of Monolah
Sing of Mother Earth
Let every man be free
Let every voice be heard
Let every child be born
Knowing the way
[Verse 10]
And we will walk that sacred circle
Join our hands across all time
Living in peace and we believe
[Verse 11]
We're gonna get to the other side
We're gonna put on our wings and fly
When we get to the other side
Join our voices across the sky
[Verse 12]
When we get to the other side
(We cross over to the other side)
We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride
(Wear our Cherokee pride)
[Verse 13]
When we get to the other side
(Get to the other side)
We're gonna leave this world behind
(Leave this world behind, yeah)
[Verse 14]
We're gonna get to the other side
We're gonna put on our wings and fly
(Fly away, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 15]
When we get to the other side
Join our voices across the sky
Till we get to the other side
We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride
[Verse 16]
When we get to the other side
We're gonna leave this world behind
(Leave this world behind, yeah)
[Verse 17]
We're gonna get to the other side
We're gonna put on our wings and fly
(Fly away, yeah)
[Verse 18]
When we get to the other side
Join our voices across the sky
Till we get to the other side
We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride
