   Lyrics to Cherokee Rose :
   Pinestraw on the ground around a fallen Cherokee rose
   It’s got me wonderin’ why those mighty winds of change must blow
   Once this land was free from fences and shotguns
   Back when the people killed here for food instead of fun

   When the Earth was sanctified
   Cherished in the red-man’s eyes
   Before the Cherokee rose
   The Cherokee rose
   The Cherokee rose

   My boots sink down into the soft red Georgia clay
   Bought with their blood, this land here never was ours to take away
   Disheartened souls unjustly driven from their homes
   Many died along the way, now we build our houses upon their bones

   After all these years
   I can see the trail of tears
   Damn this Cherokee rose
   Oh the Cherokee rose
   The Cherokee rose

   Oh they call us the land of the free
   And the home of the brave
   But I don’t hear much
   About the injustice that we’ve done along the way
   We try to black it out
   Never think about
   The price they had to pay
   We never cry for what was lost
   Shed a tear for the heavy cost
   Of what we call “freedom”

   All the gold in the world couldn’t pay the debt we owe
   We’ll never right those wrongs, but I believe we should let them know
   That we won’t forget and sure as hell won’t justify
   And we’ll do our best to keep their memories alive

   Oh the least that we could do
   Is dedicate one lonesome bloom
   Won’t ya take this Cherokee rose
   Oh the Cherokee rose
   The Cherokee rose

   Jesus sets right what is turned down, and turns Life around……don’t forget, His Love
