Alone tonight, staring at the ceiling; Myriad cracks, no longer appealing. Each path I've traced to its meaningless end; Only to find the beginning again. Alone tonight, staring at the walls; While silence echoes through empty halls; Longing for your arms to hold me tight; Aching for your heartbeat all through the night. Alone tonight, in my empty bed; Recalling the very last words you said. Your soft "I love you", when you thought I slept; As you slipped from the room, I silently wept. Alone tonight, in my empty home; Through cold rooms I quietly roam. My heart sits heavy in my chest; When tomorrow comes, I'll lay you to rest. Alone tonight, with ghosts and memories; Never again will you smile for me. In my heart, I'll carry our love; I'll wait to embrace you in heaven above. nohi vhani tsagasawodv (Trail Of Tears) Trail Of Tears The acrid stench of death fills the air; On this march we are forced to endure. Driven on a journey to a new land; Losing "our" way of life to the rules of the "white man". They ride among us, eyes filled with hate; While some of my people lie dying, they will not wait. We are doomed, destined to die; I watch as my brothers fall at my side. I seek death, for in death I will be free; I'd rather die than reside in forced captivity. Here, on this journey, I release my fears; My spirit shall go home, on this "Trail Of Tears". utohi'yu tsalagi adanvdo gana ga Translation True Cherokee Spirit Lives On.
