A Prayer Wrapped In Blue Smoke
by Keith Rabin

With a deep wanting I pray for peace;
With a wanting for peace I pray for freedom;
I pray for those lives, on all those blue smoke trails......
Those blue smoke trails, from all those sweetgrass prayers.....
All those sweetgrass prayers, all those tears;
The Rez, the land, the stolen lands and all those tears;
All those tears, all those deaths, and the blue smoke trails on.....
With a wanting for peace I pray;
With a deep wanting for freedom I pray;
I pray for all our lives, all lives within the circle......
I am a keeper of the earth, I keep the tree alive;
Blue smoke wraps my soul, wraps your soul as I pray;
I pray for those who can't pray, I pray for those that won't pray...
With a deep wanting, with a wanting we should all pray......

For Leonard Peltier's strength, and freedom,
For all who will take the time now to pray...
For the truth of Anna Mae
For the children as always....

In Peace....
