Pray to the rain Pray to the God of thunder We are as one Through the blood of our brothers
On through the ages We have lived here free Spirits from the past remind me We get our strength from the light up above God of the sun God of the sun
We face the east The smoke is offered upward (We pray Heammawihio) To fight this scourge Who rape this land our mother
The white eyes came across the sea Bringing pain and misery Oh give us hope great spirit up above God of the sun
Great father I pray With the strength of your light Help us find a way We wish only to breath The dust of our fathers And to hunt where their spirits live Now they bury our pride And capture our souls Leaving us barren With no place left to go And with pain in our hearts And tears in our eyes We look up and we pray To the God of the sun
On through the ages We have lived here free Spirits from the past remind me We get our strength from the light up above God of the sun God of the sun
They've captured our pride They've cut us inside The winds of war are blowing strong Trail of tears gets long God of the sun My God of the sun God of the sun God of the sun God of the sun
