Lyrics Trail of Tears - Stiff Little Fingers
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
'cause
that's
your
home"
Go
back
to
it
Go
back
to
it
No
future,
no
life,
no
hope
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
So,
the
dreamer
turns
from
the
city
But
he
asks
them
before
he
leaves:
"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"
