Mother, sing me a song
To ease my pain,
Repair my broken bones
And bring the whole thing back.
Take my babies
When they are born,
Sing my death song,
Teach me to cry.
Show me the medicine
Of healing herbs,
The courage of the spirit,
And how I can help.
Mother, heal my heart
So I can see
Your gifts
And so they can live through me.
