Notes Text O our
Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky,
Your children are we, and with tired
backs
We bring you the gifts that you love.
Then weave for us a garment
of brightness;
May the warp be the white light of morning,
May the weft
be the red light of evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the
border be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
That
we may walk fittingly where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly where grass
is green,
O our Mother the Earth, O our Father the Sky! Traditional
