Cherokee Starlight - Sharp Knife Lyrics

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

White men lied through the color of teeth
Didn't care about his treaties or keeping the peace
It never mattered how hard you adopted his ways
The color of your skin only numbered your days
An endless trail of tears to separate
You from the land that he eyed to take

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

From endless days across this land
The same tale unfolds against man against man
To put one up and keep one down
Is a wicked way to live out our own fates
As we cut our flesh to eradicate

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours

One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
