Sleeping Flower

Sleeping Flower

She’s a vision of both beauty and grace
A gorgeous smile on a beautiful face
　
Her long jet black hair in the wind is flowing
Beautiful brown eyes have a sense of knowing
　
Her warm smile lights up the night skies
Wings on her heart that she keeps safe inside
　
Stands like a statue armed with love in hand
She is a guardian of our home and native land
　
Her gentle nature is always heart felt and true
She will shine her loving halo light upon you
　
She was born a child of the nation of Cree
She has had her struggles to remain free
　
They call her by the name of Sleeping Flower
She is a true entity of native female power
　
She is a champion of Mother Nature’s plight
Born with the knowing gift of second sight
　
She seeks guidance from the nights endless stars
She lovingly remembers her many battle scars
　
A sacred guardian to all of the birds and the bees
A fierce protector of the ancient forests and their trees

To disobey the sacred laws of nature is a sin
In her heart a loving discipline dwells within
　
She is truly a guardian angel of the heart
Putting out raging fires before they start
　
Her young heart is strong though full of love
She takes her blessing from mighty spirits above
　
She sees our destiny mapped in the stars
Her soul has travelled both near and afar
　
She prays for hope and she prays for peace
For an ending to war, famine and disease
　
She has a vision of the way that the world could be
A vision that the oil companies don't want to see
　
She scatters ashes like distant memories on the wind
Knowing that some mistakes we can never make again
　
I see her as being a heavenly earthbound star
Please send us your blessings wherever you are
　
Her native spirit miraculously growing wild
Has been her birthright ever since she was a child
　
There’s enough love in her heart to fill up a room
And her tender kiss makes the wild roses bloom
　
In the endless fields where the wildflowers grow
There is an inner peace she has come to know
