Cherokee Eyes
Cherokee eyes, Cherokee eyes
Cherokee eyes, Cherokee eyes
verse 1
Wilma you stood there in that Oklahoma wind
The first woman chief of the Cherokee land
The voice of our children so gentle and wise
And hope in your Cherokee eyes
chorus
Cherokee eyes, what have you seen
Cherokee eyes, do you still see the dream
I saw the power of love on your face
And the light in your Cherokee eyes
verse 2
Wilma you told us of good things to come
When the hearts of all children in this world beat as one
To forgive and forget all the wrong and the lies
With tears in your Cherokee eyes
chorus
Cherokee eyes saw blood on the trail
Cherokee eyes saw the hungry and frail
I saw the power of love on your face
And the light in your Cherokee eyes
