Grandmother is crying;
Earth sheds her tears
Somewhere an eagle flies
In a bright blue sky

Grandmother is crying;
Earth sheds her tears
Voices cry out of the past
Echoing in my soul

Grandmother is crying;
Earth sheds her tears
I hear my ancestors voices
And I pray

————

For the rains that fall from the sky
And become the mighty rivers
Creator, we are thankful

For the trees and their life giving oxygen
And the splendor of their leaves and needles
Creator, we are thankful

For the wind, carrying coolness to us on hot days
Pollen for new plants and our prayers up to you
Creator, we are thankful

For the winged ones
Whose beauty and powerful grace inspires us
Creator, we are thankful

For the four-leggeds we share this world with
From the ones who bring us companionship, to the ones that bring us food
Creator, we are thankful

For the time you have given us
For the gift each new day is
Creator, we are thankful
