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

Great Spirits let us soar
