Spirits in the mist,
They call into
our Apache hearts.

They gave us
courage and strength
when we are in doubt.

When our children
cry out in hunger,
They call out,
" Nu uka Biza 'a ' yo' n'
ouudaah' ndida nzhu'. "

Come little one,
don't say anything.
It is good.
When our Warriors
go into battle,
They give them knowledge
of what is to come.

When our bodies
grow weak with age,
They tell us we are
young in Spirit.

They release our souls
to the great world beyond,
when it is time to go
to the great counsel
fire in the sky.

Listen to the Spirits
in the mist,
They call into
Our Apache Hearts.
