You were on the holy mountain,
The sacred ground.
I went to find you.
Sun was going down.

I found you at the cliff.
You were singing to the wind.
I knew the words,
So I joined in.

It's the Great Spirit I see in the trees.
Great Spirit reaching into me.
Great Spirit in your eyes,
Like a gold flame of sacred fires.

You said a prayer
To Father Sky.
Mother Earth heard us
Chant all night.

We blessed flowers
With our love.
By morning, they had
All opened up.

It's the Great Spirit I see in the trees.
Great Spirit reaching into me.
Great Spirit in your eyes,
Like a gold flame of sacred fires.
