We are such Children

How great is our need for guidance


How can we possibly hear Great Spirit

When we are always talking

Always giving Great Spirit instructions

Always telling Great Spirit what to do for us


How can we receive the gifts Great Spirit offers

When we are always busy seeking other things


Great Spirit sings songs of peace

We cannot hear them because we are busy

Telling Great Spirit to give us peace


Great Spirit lays before us great treasures

We cannot see them because we are busy

Telling Great Spirit to show us prosperity


Great Spirit sings to us of great love

We do not hear the melody because we are busy

Telling Great Spirit to show us love


We are such children

We babble so

And think we are praying
