The sunrise above them As they make their way In the early morning light No backward glance Frightened of tomorrow On a lonely road Shrouded in misted rain The vanquished race Chorus: They felt the touch of loneliness They felt the dread of fear And found the path of wisdom Along the trail of tears So many ways of falling A thousand barefoot tribes Who trusted promises No resting place March into the wilderness Time their fate decides Leaving behind them Treasures and gold (Chorus) The sun sets before them In another land Withered in spirit The struggle ends (Chorus 2x)
