Because I Beleived - the Sweat Lodge
I sat there in the Buffalo Seat
To hear from Spirits from which I seek
Knowledge, wisdom & forgiveness of sins
When I bared my soul to let them in
Rocks, Water. In the dark sweating it out
Before my insides scream and shout
The first door opened blinding my eyes
But when they spoke I was not surprised
More Rocks, Water. In the dark sweating it out
Before my insides scream and shout
The second door opened and again they spoke
Upon their words I tried not to choke
More rocks, Water. In the dark sweating it out
Before my insides scream and shout
When the third door opened it caught my breath
Not knowing how close I was to death
More rocks, Water. In the dark sweating it out
Before my insides scream and shout
When the fourth door opened I was amazed
So peaceful, quiet. Not feeling so crazed.
No more rocks, water and sweating it out
Insides no longer feel the need to scream and shout
After the fourth door go over to the fire
Sacrifice and pray for what I aspire
From the sweat lodge the gifts I received
Only came to me because I believed
