WHAT'S IN A NAME
I pray to Creator, you pray to Father God
What's in a name, What's in a name
You obey Commandments I obey the Sacred Laws
What's in a name, What's in a name

I look east to sunrise you look east to Mecca's Call
What's in a name, What's in a name

I cry for a vision you cry at your wailing wall
What's in a name, What's in a name

You seek pardon in confession I have Sundanced for my sins
What's in a name, What's in a name

Your reward is life eternal mine is new life Death begins
What's in a name, What's in a name

Its on earth as its in heaven, as above as so below
What's in a name, What's in a name

I will pray you walk in beauty will you pray I do the same
What's in a name, What's in a name

I pray to the Creator, you pray to Father God
What's in a name, What's in a name

MORNING SUN

Every day Creator brings us all the morning sun
Good Grandfather shares his light with each and everyone

Thank you good Grandmother Earth for water that I drink
Thank you good Grandmother for the home beneath my feet

I pray to Creator won't you give me eyes to see
all the beauty that you made in every living thing

Thank you for the people and a place I can belong
Show me what to give away that others may grow strong

Won't you bring me ceremony so that I may grow
Bless me with humility so one day I may know, all your......

Every day Creator brings us all the morning sun

THANK YOU SONG

Creator did not put us here to suffer
just so our simple prayers could find a voice
We celebrate the day, We walk the Beautyway
We learn to own the shadow of each choice

Creator gave each living thing a purpose
The only way to find it is to give
Give of our own hearts, let Spirit do its part
Bring the dream that we were born to live

Just as every child must leave its mother
Each of us must live to see the day
We leave this Mother Earth
We know that our whole worth
Is measured by the Love we give away

Every living thing is born of woman
Every living thing is born a child
This we must respect
This we must protect
This is what is sacred in our lives

Thank you for this chance to be a Human
To walk awake inside this Human dream
I thank you for my life
I thank you for my Death
I thank you for the moments in between

VISION SONG

I ain't asking for too much
Not too much at all
I ain't asking for too much
Not too much at all
I just need to know your Spirit hears me when I call
I ain't asking for too much

Won't you give me shelter lord
Shelter in this world
Won't you give me shelter lord
Shelter in this world
Won't you give me shelter lord so I can feel secure
Won't you give me shelter lord

Won't you show me mercy lord
Mercy in this time
Won't you show me mercy lord
Mercy in this time
Won't you show me mercy so my faith is justified
Won't you show me mercy lord

Bring me a good vision lord
A vision I can see
Bring me a good vision lord
A vision I can see
Bring me a good vision what it is you'd have me be
Bring me a good vision lord

I ain't asking for too much
Not too much at all
I ain't asking for too much
Not too much at all
I just need to know your Spirit hears me when I call
I ain't asking for too much

BEAUTYWAY

Beauty walks before, beside you as you go
Beauty walks above you, Beauty walks below
When you touch another, Beauty will prevail
May you always leave Beauty in your Trail

I am crying for a vision
I have come to Pray
Show me all the things that I must give away
Give away those very things
Those things I swear I can't let go
In their place, let things of Beauty grow

Beauty walks before, beside you as you go
Beauty walks above you, Beauty walks below
When you touch another, Beauty will prevail
May you always leave Beauty in your Trail

I came looking for an answer
There was none to find
You gave me cermony, said that I could die
And in the place of who I'd been You said
That I could see the Beautyway of who that I might be

Beauty walks before, beside you as you go
Beauty walks above you, Beauty walks below
When you touch another, Beauty will prevail
May you always leave Beauty in your Trail

I pray that find your vision
One your heart can sing
Someway somehow you find the peace
only Spirit brings
I will ask for blessing for you, on this brand new day
And pray for you, May you walk the Beautyway

Beauty walks before, beside you as you go
Beauty walks above you, Beauty walks below
When you touch another, Beauty will prevail
May you always leave Beauty in your Trail

FOUR ENEMIES

Creator made four enemies
Creator made four enemies
Creator made four enemies so that Man could learn to live a life of Faith

Fear is my first enemy
Fear is my first enemy
Fear is my first enemy won't you teach my how I came to be afraid

Clarity's my enemy
Clarity's my enemy
Clarity's my enemy when I learn but do not act on what I know

Power is my enemy
Power is my enemy
Power is my enemy when I turn from God and seek to take control

Death is my last enemy
Death is my last enemy
Death is my last enemy I must turn to God and let my vision go

Creator made four enemies
Creator made four enemies
Creator made four enemies so that Man could learn to live a life of Faith

PRAYER SONG

I send my prayer to the Creator
Make me useful in this day
I ask that you will clear my vision
Show me what to give away

I thank you for all that you've given
Thank you for what you take away
Teach me to give of what I'm given
Teach me to walk the Beautyway

I ask for blessing for the children
With all their suffering and pain
Help me to clear a trail before them
So they may travel unafraid

I pray one day we build a circle
And Dance together in the Sun
And that the songs of all the people
Will form a prayer that is as one

words and music by Wes Hamil

ANCESTORS

See the sun, feel the heartbeat of our Mother as she breathes
Feel the wind, hear the song of our Creator as it sings
Every prayer we give away we let go of this world a little more
On this road we travel we will honor those who've walked this road before

Akalotahey, Kachinahey, Chuluamatahay, Hokkshidehey

I believe, each soul has a vison of its own
I believe, Love's the only thing that makes us whole
With the Love we give away we let go of this world a little more
On this road we travel we will honor those who've walked this road before

Akalotahey, Kachinahey, Chuluamatahay, Hokkshidehey

Settin Sun, it tells half the world the day has gone
Watch the night teach us that the shadow's just as strong
Every day we give away we let go of this world a little more
On this road we travel we will honor those who've walked this road before

Akalotahey, Kachinahey, Chuluamatahay, Hokkshidehey

words and music by Wes Hamil

AS ALWAYS

May you walk a good road form the start
May find a path that suits your heart
May you count your blessings with each sun
May you see the good in every one
Akalohtahey, the ancestors say
As Always- For Always- It Is Done

May you find the Beauty struggle brings
And may your Teachers be all living things
My your spirit dance out in the rain
May you find some healing with your pain
Kachinahey, the ancestors say
As Always- For Always- It Is Done

May your giveaway be all your best
May your love be equal to life's test
My you someday touch the mystery
My you come to trust what you can't see
Chuluamatahey- the ancestors say
As Always- For Always- It Is Done

May your prayers be light upon the wind
May your heart be quick to bless a friend
May your passion never leave you blind
May your journey leave much good behind
Hokkshidehey, the ancestors say
As Always- For Always- It Is Done
