Muddy Road
Walela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are walking on a muddy road
Ain't no one here beside me
I don't know
We're the links in the chain
Just passin' thru again
We are walking down a muddy road
We are walking thru Galilee
We are lookin' for a light to see
We got blood on our feet
We got some truth to meet
We are walkin thru Galilee

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

We're gonna put on our wings and fly

We got one more river to cross
We are walkin in the hands of God
We're the clay, the dust, the sod
We're the slaves of today
We are the ones who know "The Way"
We are walking in the hands of God

We Got one mroe river to cross

We are walking on a muddy road
Ain't no one here beside me
I don't know
We're the links in the chain
Just passin' thru again

We are walkin on a muddy road

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

Tla Wo Nv No Os Ta I Sa
Wi Di Di Lu Ts A Wo Ha Li I U Sti

(Cherokee translation:
We got one more river to cross
We're gonna walk on through the water and sing




When we get to the other side
We're gonna put on our wings and fly)
