Here are the words to "An Indian Prayer":

{   An Indian Prayer – H. Kent Craig – © 1980   }

My grandfather is the fire   //   My grandmother is the wind   //   The Earth is my mother   //   The Great Spirit is my father   //   The World stopped at my birth   //   and laid itself at my feet   //   And I shall swallow the Earth whole   //   when I die   //   and the Earth and I will be one   //   Hail The Great Spirit, my father   //   without him no one could exist   //   because there would be no will to live   //   An Indian Praying Amazon MP3 Download Icon (138K)     Hail The Earth, my mother   //   without which no food could be grown   //   and so cause the will to live to starve   //   Hail the wind, my grandmother   //   for she brings loving, life-giving rain   //   nourishing us as she nourishes our crops   //   Hail the fire, my grandfather   //   for the light, the warmth, the comfort he brings   //   without which we would be animals, not men   //   Hail my parents and grandparents   //   without which not I   //   nor you   //   nor anyone else   //   could have existed   //   Life gives life   //   which gives unto itself   //   a promise of new life   //   Hail The Great Spirit, The Earth, the wind, the fire   //   praise my parents loudly   //   for they are your parents, too   //   Oh, Great Spirit, giver of my life // please accept this humble offering of prayer   //   this offering of praise   //   this honest reverence of my love for you   \\
