Pray to the rain |
|
Pray to the god of thunder |
|
We are as one |
|
Through the blood of our brothers |
|
On through the ages |
|
We have lived here free |
|
Spirits from the past remind me |
|
We get our strength from the light up above |
|
God of the sun |
|
We face the east |
|
The smoke is offered upward (we pray Heammawihio) |
|
To fight this scourge |
|
Who rape this land our mother |
|
The white eyes came across the sea |
|
Bringing pain and misery |
|
Oh five us hope great spirit up above |
|
God of the sun |
|
Great father |
|
I pray With the strength of your light |
|
Help us find a way |
|
We wish only to breath |
|
The dust of our fathers |
|
And to hunt where their spirits lives |
|
Now they bury our pride |
|
And caputure our souls |
|
Leaving us barren |
|
With no place left to go |
|
And with pain in our hearts |
|
And tears in our eyes |
|
We look up and we pray |
|
To the God of the sun |
|
On throught the ages we have lived here free |
|
Spirits from the past remind me |
|
We get our strength from the light up above |
|
God of the sun, |
|
God of the sun |
|
They've captured our pride |
|
They've cut us inside |
|
The winds of war are blowing strong |
|
Our trail of tears gets long |
|
God of the sun |
