- Cherokee LyricsMysterious be enough
Aou
Aaa, haa, haa, haa haa
Ooo
Lay lived in peace
Not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change
Had made them realize
That the promises were lies, ohh
The white man's greed
In search of gold
Made the nation bleed
They had lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
They were driven hard
Across the plains
And walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
Had made them realize
That the promises were lies
So much to bear
An' all that pain
Left them in despair
They have lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Ohh
Yea yea yaa
Aaa, haa, haa, haa haa
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Ohh, Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee
Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Ohh

Facts about Cherokee
✔️
Cherokee is written by Joey Tempest.
✔️
It is first released on May 26, 1986 as part of Europe's album "The Final Countdown" which includes 13 tracks in total. This song is the 5th track on this album.
✔️
When we look deeper into its meaning, Europe's 'Cherokee' tells the story of the forced removal and pains of the Cherokee people as a result of broken promises and the insatiable greed of the whites, with the 'trail of tears' as the main powerful metaphor for their journey of despair and loss. Cherokee lyrics mainly convey sadness, social criticism, meditation, angst and rage. However, at the same time, the song speaks of the very important themes of betrayal and broken promises, people’s greed and exploitation, suffering and hardship, and finally, displacement and loss. The words portray the very intense themes of history that are suffering, displacement and loss of faith. The language is very strong but not quite explicit and the showing off of hardship and injustice is really powerful. So, these factors would possibly lead to a PG-13 rating to alert the parents about the content being mature.
