Too many broken promises too many trail of tears Too many times you were left cold for oh so many years
Too many times you walked away and was made to feel ashamed And though you only tried to give you were often blamed [ mandolin ] How can this world be so dark so unfair and so untrue How did the cards of life fold right on top of you [ guitar ] God in heaven hear my prayer ff you are still above Send the children hopes and dreams and lots and lots of love
For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears
