[Verse] Cherokee by blood Irish in my veins Happy for the fiddlers who danced in the rains Ancient times lost to the surge of the race But inside my heart beats at a steady pace [Verse 2] Trapped in concrete dreams progress running wild Longing for the open fields like a wistful child Stories of my people fade like whispers in the breeze But their spirit remains like the rustle in the trees [Chorus] If my dreams of living free were planted long ago I'd nurture them to life let my true colors show In a world that moves so fast I stand firm and hold To the tales of ancient days where hearts were bold [Bridge] Lost in cities bright lights but my soul remains Roaming with my ancestors across the plains Fiddle tunes and melodies washed in the rain Echo in my heart as I break from every chain [Chorus] If my dreams of living free were planted long ago I'd nurture them to life let my true colors show In a world that moves so fast I stand firm and hold To the tales of ancient days where hearts were bold [Verse 3] Cherokee blood Irish melody in my dreams I'll keep marching to the drumbeat no matter how it seems Ancient spirits guide me through the rivers of time Blending all my heritage in perfect rhyme
