Thunder Beneath
Once upon a time
in the long ago past,
The land shook with thunder beneath the herds so vast.
There was more than could be counted more than we would need,
We thought for always
our people they would feed.
The Great Spirit was generous
he provided so well,
We were happy and content
in the land where we dwelled.
Yet, the winds of change
had begun to blow,
And took from us the happiness we used to know.
We lost our way of life
our ancestor’s land,
Worst of all
we lost our freedom that we held so grand.
Please, oh Great Spirit
heal our broken heart,
Raise us from despair
and guide us to a new start.
