The Trail I Traveled

The Trail I Traveled

Voices of life, buried in the red clay earth

Swallowed up in the fossils of beaten rock and stone

The trail, traveled by many, lost in the rain

The wind carried us through, without horse, without shoes

Now I dream, I live, the promise land, I will lay my head

When I awaken, I shall see our native nation come together

The circle of life, the dance freedom, the spirit of love

The trail of tears, the trail once traveled

Hi Nancy Mcgowin,
 

Good write, thanks for sharing, my applause, my vote

The trail, traveled by many, lost in the rain

The wind carried us through, without horse, without shoes

Now I dream, I live, the promise land, I will lay my head

When I awaken, I shall see our native nation come together

The circle of life, the dance freedom, the spirit of love

Regards
