O
Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak, I need your
strength and wisdom.
Let
Me Walk In Beauty, and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make My Hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make
Me Wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let Me Learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I
Seek Strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy-myself.
Make Me Always Ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So
When Life Fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you
Without Shame.
Prayer from the Children of the Red Cloud Indian School, Pine Ridge, South Dakota
Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota Tribe
