Lyrics

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)
