Omaki wa Wakantanka, Tunkashila, ~ Hoka Hey

I thank you for my family, thank you for my friends,
With 2 legs and 4 legs, feathers and fins…
~ and wings ~ and those that crawl

I thank you for my family, thank you for my friends,
With leaves and roots, flowers and stems…
~ and a million ~ shades of green

I thank you for my family, thank you for my friends,
The rocks, the stones, pebbles and gems
~ and the Earth, beneath my feet

I thank you for my family, thank you for my friends,
The sun, the moon, the stars and winds
~ and the rain, and all they bring

Omaki wa Wakantanka, Tunkashila, ~ Hoka Hey

~ Mother wash all our fears away ~ and leave love…
