Great Protector

Our universe a great and powerful circle of life

Sacred land and sky surround our native path

To free our souls with energy and knowledge behold

Nature brings harmony to us as we live and breathe

It protects us from becoming ill and heals our innerself

Let the waters run over our treaded callused feet we walk

Wakan-Tanka how we dance to your spirit world among us

Lead us in ceremony so we may give our children the same

For today and tomorrow the history of our greatness go on

To the next generation of our people within our humble universe

The drums play for your greatness as we know who you are

Great Protector, we kiss the ground and kneel to you, we give you thanks
