We Have Seen
We have seen the mountains grow
from the hills,
and the trees from the ground
reaching for the sky.
We have felt the years go on
only to grow old and fall.
With my brothers and sisters
that is also the same.
We have seen many a moon
our time has come.
Searching the heavens for a sign.
When will we go to the great spirit?
Reaching into the ether
we grab for our ancestors.
Hoping they will take our hand
guiding us into the heavens.
Rekindling our ties
to mothers and fathers.
Meeting our ancestors
who went before us.
Greeting our loved ones
who come after us.
Oh, great spirit guide me.
I want to go home.
Take me into your arms.
Shield me from pain and sorrow,
take me to the hunting grounds
of my people.
