Do you know who I am ?

I was removed from my home
because you wanted my land.

Do you know who I am ?

You made me walk through the wind,
the rain and the cold across the land.
Not caring if I was hungry,
sick or dying...you made me walk on.

Do you know who I am ?

My body fell to the ground,
battered broken and torn.

Do you know who I am ?

I was at your mercy, my body, my blood and my tears,
you didn't care..it was your plan.

Do you know who I am ?

I know who I am ....

I am Cherokee, and proud.
