Sacred Ground

(álbum: Mitakuye Oyasin Oyasin / All My Relations - 1996)

All my relations
I hear their voices on the wind
All my relations
They have danced on sacred ground

The father of my father
He worked on sacred ground
And the mother of my mother
She laid her mother down
My heart knows... My spirit grows...
On this sacred ground

All my relations
I hear their voices on the wind
All my relations
They have danced on sacred ground

The spirits of my ancestors
Are here to walk with me
We're all joined together
In this circle of eternity
My heart knows... My spirit grows...
On this sacred ground

All my relations
I hear their voices on the wind
All my relations
They have danced on sacred ground

The sacred waters they give us life
The sacred air is our breath
The sacred Earth, our mother, she sustains us
From our birth until our death
My heart knows... My spirit grows...
On this sacred ground

All my relations
I hear their voices on the wind
All my relations
They have danced on sacred ground

Where the turtle lays her eggs is sacred ground
Where the eagles make their nest is sacred ground
Where the bears lay down to rest is sacred ground
Where the wolves raise their young is sacred ground
Wherever any living creature sets its foot is sacred ground
Wherever any living creature sets its foot is sacred ground

All my relations
Live on sacred ground
Die on sacred ground
Love on sacred ground
Cry on sacred ground
Walk on sacred ground
Lie on sacred ground
