Sweet eyes of my father In my own eyes I can see The vision of the ancient Cherokee Sweet sacred inspiration He passes on to me Heartbeat of the gentle Cherokee And I heard him say That's just the way love is When love is bliss And we will walk the mighty circle Double cross the hands of time Laugh and we'll cry as egos die Until we get to the other side Put on our wings and fly The soul of sweet foregiveness Walks his path with dignity With the wisdom of the ancient living Cherokee 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 And I heard him pray That everywhere God is Let freedom live And we will walk the mighty circle Double cross the hands of time As nations die and hearts unite When we'll get to the other side Put on our wings and fly Song of Monolah Sing of Mother Earth Let Everyman live free Let every voice be heard Let every child be born Knowing the way And we will walk the sacred circle Join our hands across all time Living in peace when we believe We're gonna get to the other side Join our voices across the sky When we get to the other side We're gonna leave this world behind Til we get to the other side We're gonna wear our Cherokee pride
