O' GREAT SPIRIT
WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WINDS
AND WHOSE BREATH GIVES LIFE TO ALL THE WORLD
HEAR ME
I AM SMALL AND WEAK
I NEED YOUR STRENGTH AND WISDOM
LET ME WALK IN BEAUTY AND MAKE MY EYES EVER BEHOLD THE RED AND PURPLE SUNSET
MAKE MY HANDS RESPECT THE THINGS I HAVE MADE
MAKE MY EARS SHARP TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
MAKE ME WISE TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS YOU HAVE TAUGHT MY PEOPLE
LET ME HEAR THE LESSONS YOU HAVE HIDDEN UNDER EVERY ROCK AND LEAF
I SEEK STRENGHT NOT TO BE GREATER THAN MY BROTHER
BUT TO FIGHT MY GREATEST ENEMY
MYSELF
MAKE ME ALWAYS READY TO COME TO YOU WITH CLEAN HANDS AND STRAIGHT EYES
SO WHEN LIFE FADES LIKE THE FADING SUNSET
MY SPIRIT MAY COME TO YOU WITHOUT SHAME!!!
