Cherokee Songtext
von Rita Coolidge

Sweet eyes of my father in my own eyes, I can see
The vision of the ancient Cherokee (Cherokee)
Sweet sacred inspiration that he passes on to me
Heartbeat of the gentle Cherokee (Cherokee)

And I heard him say
"That′s just the way love is
When love is bliss"

And we will walk a 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 forgiveness walks his path with dignity
With wisdom of the ancient living Cherokee (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 Cherokee

And I heard him pray
That everywhere God is
Let freedom be


And we will walk that sacred circle, double cross, the hands of time
As nations die and hearts unite
Until we get to the other side
Put on our wings and fly

Song of Monola, saying of Mother Earth
Let every man be free (let every voice be heard)
Let every child be born knowing the way

And we will walk that sacred circle
Join our hands across all time
Living in peace, we believe
We′re gonna get to the other side
We're gonna put on our wings and fly

When we get to the other side
Join our voices across the sky, we cross over
(Until we get to the other side) to the other side
(We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride) wear our Cherokee pride
(When we get to the other side) get to the other side
(We′re gonna leave this world behind) leave this world behind, yeah


(We′re gonna get to the other side)
We're gonna put on our wings and fly, fly away, yeah, yeah
(When we get to the other side)
Join our voices across the sky
′Till we get to the other side
We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride (ooooo)

When we get to the other side
We′re gonna leave this world behind, leave this world behind, yeah
(We're gonna get to the other side)
We′re gonna put on our wings and fly, fly away, yeah
(When we get to the other side)
Join our voices across the sky, oooooo

('Till we get to the other side)
We're gonna wear all our Cherokee pride, on the other side
(When we get to the other side)
