Hear Me......
Hear me, four quarters
of the world-- a relative I am!
Give me the strength
to walk the soft earth.
Give me the eyes to
see and the strength to understand,
that I may be like you.
With your power only
can I face the winds.
Great Spirit...all over
the earth the faces of living things are all alike.
With tenderness have
these come up out of the ground.
Look upon these faces
of children without number
and with children in
their arms,
that they may face the
winds
and walk the good road
to the day of quiet.
This is my prayer' hear
me!
Black Elk,
Sioux Indian
