 A Warrior's Final Request
Great Spirit of my people
my life is almost done,
Gather me in your arms and carry
me to the land of the happy sun.
Let me ride across the plains
as far as my eyes can see,
Let me soar like the mighty Eagle
so wild untamed and free.
Let me again test my skills
and ability to provide,
Let me quench my hunters thirst from the pure water of the mountainside
Let my brothers join my campfire
to pass the night away,
Reliving the successful huntand preparing for the coming day,
Let me have peace with my enemies
for no more war will be made,
Let us ride on the hunt together, friendship for war paint we will trade.
Let us raise our voices in praise
as our dancing and drums know no bounds,
we thank you Oh Great Spirit for allowing us into the Happy Hunting Grounds.
