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 you
have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make
me wise so that I may understand the things you have
taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength 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, as
the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without
shame.
