MY SPIRIT SHALL SOAR
Words and Music by Peter Merz
The blood of the wisest of the wise
Flows within my veins
Our forbearers saw Nimrod's demise
And the giants tamed
They heard the call of Abraham
From the land of Ur
They witnessed the staff in Moses' hand
Yes smite and slither
I am the voice of the Cherokee
The banner of an ancient legacy
I am the soul of the Cherokee
And here's how I'll be set free
Chorus: My Spirit Shall Soar (My Spirit Shall Soar)
Today, tomorrow and beyond
My Spirit Shall Soar (My Spirit Shall Soar)
My Spirit Shall Soar
And when this mortal life is gone
I will dance with the ancients who've gone before
Grace and peace forever more
My Spirit, My Spirit Shall Soar
I've trod the path of ancient wonder
I've felt mercy's kiss
My spirit hears ancient thunder
Echo from God's lips
I still weep for our native land
For the burning sword
It stops us at every hand
Still I rise above the storm
I am the voice of the Cherokee
The banner of an ancient legacy
I am the soul of the Cherokee
And here's how I'll be set free
Chorus
Bridge: I will not stand here faithless
No, I shall soar when I meet my destiny
I will not stand here thankless
No, I shall soar when eternity begins
Instrumental
