THE INDIANS’ SPIRITS

 

Down in the deep my spirit will creep

    Out of the window into the air

No one knows where.

     Deathless and lifeless, sleepless of fears

Indians will keep their spirits near –

     Creeping about in the open air

No one knows where.

 

Down in the deep my spirit will creep,

    Fearless of sorrow and fearless of time,

Indians will seek a spirit to help his creed.

    Out of the window into the air

No one knows where.

     Indian spirit shall share

Deathless and lifeless, sleepless of fear

     The noise of my spirit shall speak very clear.

 

Out of the windows into the air

     No one knows where

When far into the darkened night a change in the air

     The Indian spirit shall creep out of no where.
