<br>

[Native Americans]<br>

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega<br>

Yam-pi-ye-he-he hega<br>

<br>

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega<br>

Yam-pi-ye-he-he hega<br>

<br>

Steady as the beating drum<br>

Singing to the cedar flute<br>

Seasons come and seasons go<br>

Bring the corn and bear the fruit<br>

<br>

By the waters sweet and clean<br>

Where the mighty serpent lives<br>

Plant the squash and reap the bean<br>

All the earth our mother gives<br>

<br>

O Great Spirit, hear our song<br>

Help us keep the ancient ways<br>

Keep the sacred fire strong<br>

Walk in balance all our days<br>

<br>

Seasons come and seasons go<br>

Steady as the beating drum<br>

Plum to seed to bud to plum<br>

(Hega hega yam-pi-ye hega)<br>

Steady as the beating drum<br>

<br>

Hega hega yam-pi-ye-hega<br>

Yam-pi-ye-he-he hega<br>

<br>
