I've seen shadow, I've seen shine

I know what and what is not mine

I've seen glitter and I've seen gold

And I've heard everything I've been told



And I don't want to spend my life time walking

A trail of tears

I don't want to spend my whole life walking

Along a trail of tears

Trail of tears



Well you know battle, you know war

You know what and what you are for

Scared of you and I'm scared of me

Scared of letting my future be



And I don't want to spend my life time walking

A trail of tears

I don't want to spend my life time walking

A trail of tears

Trail of tears



Nobody in their right mind

Could fail to see unless they were blind

It's gone, true love has gone

Nobody wants to throw it away

But oh my darling how can I stay

When it's gone, good has gone



I've seen shadow, I've seen shine

I know what and what is not mine

I've seen glitter, I've seen gold

And I've heard everything I've been told



And I don't want to spend my life time walking

A trail of tears

I don't want to spend my whole life walking

Along trail of tears

Trail of tears
