Spirit horse ride for me
There will be much more
Born hunters not the hunted, as the white man hunts for me
Great spirit, thunder birds fly
Paint ourselves for war now blood and fire burn
The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die
We are wild and free
We welcomed them as brothers, knowing nothing of their greed
Warriors to the grave
Great spirit, thunder birds fly
We are wild and free
There has been much killing
Great spirit, thunder birds fly
Great spirit, thunder birds fly
Let the white men die
We are descendants of the animals we live among them free
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery
To fight and die by the open sky
We are wild and free
Our trail of tears would end, one day at wounded knee
We are wild and free
When we do the ghost dance, the buffalo will return
The medicine man is dancing
Spirit horse ride for me
To fight and die by the open sky
Great spirit, thunder birds fly
Spirit horse ride for me
Spirit horse ride for me
Crazy horse, Geronimo
Red cloud, black hawk, sitting bull
To fight and die by the open sky
Strong and brave
To fight and die by the open sky
To fight and die by the open sky
Great spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Hatchets sing with pride
We are wild and free
He's calling us to war
But then they would not leave
