all in
In a land without any pity And a sun scorching from the sky
In the desert, they built a city Sharp as flint that could make you cry
Hold on to it Hold on to it It?s a dream that will never die
Come there with me Come there with me It?s the home of my own mind?s eye
But the dreamer was never welcome Other lands have their own demands
Get away boy, you don?t belong here That?s our law and it always stands
Hold on to it Hold on to it It?s a dream that will make you cry
Come there with me Come there with me And they?ll let us in by and by
I will meet you when things are better
In a world without any fear
We?ll be facing our bright tomorrow
At the end of this trail of tears
They asked our dreamer for reams of paper These were the keys that he didn?t own
They pointed back to the land he came from Said: ?Go back there, son ?cos that?s your home?
Come there with me Come there with me And you?ll see why I can?t go home
I will meet you when things are better
In a world without any fear
We?ll be facing our bright tomorrow
At the end of this trail of tears
And the trail goes on On and on For years and years
The trail drags on Never ending Trail of tears
?Who checked your papers to build this country? Who gave permission for you and not me??
Think back on it Think back on it Land is the land and it was always free
Before you Before you No one had papers, they would simply ?be?
I will meet you when things are better
In a world without any fear
We?ll be facing our bright tomorrow
At the end of this trail of tears
I will meet you when things are better
In a world without any fear
We?ll be facing our bright tomorrow
At the end of this trail of tears
