We are the union of the sky and the earth
Consciousness given form, given body, given birth
We are the love making of all that went before
The rolling of the waves of life, ever breaking on your shore

Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way

Great mystery, we ask of you, draw us ever closer
To the purity of our core, within you, ever after
Guide us always onward to the ultimate conclusion
Of the life we live & the love we give, resounding through creation

Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way
Wa~kan Tunka, Pilamayelo
Tunka Sh’la, Wani wachielo
Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way

Great spirit release us from the mirrors of the mind
Open our hearts, open our eyes, to your source divine
Great mother come fill us, wash us in your oceans
To you all hail, to you all praise, through all of our relations

Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way

Make flowers of our footsteps, make cloudfall of our breath
Make warriors of our children, make a sunset of our death
Feeding you, as you fed us, in this ever changing story
Let the air we breath be the songs we sing,
your love, your praise, your glory

Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way
O~makiyo, Ate oyate
Mitakuye Yuha, Lila washte
Welo we~ey wahe, yana hoitè yana hey
We~ey yo way, taka hoi yo wela way
