You know what I'm talkin' about
Yeah that's right

Well, many years ago
There was a man
He was doing things
That no one could seem to understand

But those times were strained
Some things went bad, I can't explain no
All I know for sure is
His spirit still remains

Cherokee Warrior
You lost the battle, that's for sure oh no!
But what you left behind
Let me tell you, is still shining
Cherokee Warrior
You lost the battle, that's for sure
But what you left behind
Let me tell you
It's still shining

When you came out of nowhere
You set the world ablaze
But you didn't belong here
So you left us all amazed

In our hearts your still alive
Though you tasted all the forbidden [bad word] 
Now it's so hard to describe
Why in the end you had to lose

Cherokee Warrior
You lost the battle, that's for sure oh no!
But what you left behind
Let me tell you, is still shining
Cherokee Warrior
You lost the battle, that's for sure
But what you left behind
Let me tell you
It's still shining

Still shining
