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
