Trail Of Tears Lyrics - Eric Johnson

Take me from these earth bound chains 

I must find it once again 

The meaning of equality 

We will never hide in shame 

But forever guard the flame 

Burning for eternity 

Hundreds of nights 

Oh, my body cries 

A trail of tears

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Promises sometimes don't keep 

Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know 

(I lay my body down) 

Written with the words you tell 

Stories, a lesson in life from long ago 

Hold on, hold dear 

The time is near 

When you'll know why 

The spirit flies 

Photos 

Children carried on your back 

Driven through the wind and cold 

How have you become so few 

But in the end oh, I will see 

Your spiritual liberty 

Forever to be with you
