The Great Spirit Heard Their Prayers

In our country I've seen
changes and so have you.
Each year that comes
brings new changes with it too.
Beautiful forests and
virgin lands are disappearing.
Buildings of all shapes and
heights are appearing.

Long ago Indian hunts
for game reaped success.
Abundant furs for their
loved ones they did possess.
For which they gave thanks
to the great Spirit in the sky.
At times Great Warriors had
tears of joy in their eyes.

Not too many years ago
many sad changes came.
Proud tribal hunters began
finding less and less game.
Many Indian tribes were
forced to move onto reservations.
Their past was often
the topic of their conversations.
From dying flowers their seeds
will sprout and grow.

Indians survived hardships
more than most of us know.
Each morning sunrise they
Prayed for a new beginning.
Their renewed strength grew
each day without an ending.
The Great Spirit Heard Their Prayers.
