When the earth was still so young And no one could understand The trees still touched the sky And man and nature walked hand in hand
A child did not grow Without the wisdom to know That a man did not come From the meat he brought back home
Great spirits hear our cry Open our eyes and our minds Take our hands and Show us where our people lived before Teach us all of your ways Take us back to warmer days Give us wings like eagles And let us soar
May we Teach our children To look deeper than the mirror So that they will know The blood that flows within our veins
Give our tongues the wisdom To teach them right from wrong And grant our body's the food Which keeps us strong
Great spirits hear our cry Open our eyes and our minds Take our hands and Show us where our people lived before Teach us all of your ways Take us back to warmer days Give us wings like eagles And let us soar
