I Am Here

When you wish upon a star;
You are given love from afar.
From the place where our peoples reside;
Star Peoples , we never denied.

When you wish upon the moon;
Those that were gone all too soon.
Awaken to hear your voice;
Keeping watch, by their choice.

When you wish upon the sky;
Ancestors will realize.
That you send up smoke and prayers;
Acknowledging, they are still there.

When you wish upon the Spirit World;
Whether you be man, woman, boy, or girl.
Great Spirit answers your song;
"I am here my child, you are not alone."
