Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world
Hear me
I come before you, one of your children
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
my ears sharp to hear your voice
Make me wise, so that I may know
the things you have taught my People
the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock
I seek strength, not to be superior to my brothers
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself
Make me ever ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades as a fading sunset
My Spirit may come to you without shame.
