Subject: A Song for the Cherokee

Osiya,
Here are some lyrics, to the tune of Nearer My God to Thee, that I made up and want to share them with all Cherokee.May it bring the peace I find in it, too.

As-Ga-YaGa-Lun-La-Ti oh, Tas-la-gi
Every-where you're there with me
As you tend to be

The an-cestors spoke your fame
Rev-er-ence of the same
Seven clans that call your name
Hold your ho-ly flame

As-Ga-YaGa-Lun-La-Ti oh, Tas-la-gi
Thoughts gathered with clar-it-y
All things as they be

The an-cestors spoke so true
We shape the fu-ture too
Words and thoughts of to-day
Shape things as they may

As-Ga-YaGa-Lun-La-Ti oh, Tas-la-gi
My heart's eyes open for me
My sprit guide to see

The an-cestors spoke their hearts
Praised you in all their arts
Circle of light shin-ing through
Guide me oh so true

As-Ga-YaGa-Lun-La-Ti oh, Tas-la-gi
Con-fused by things I see
Seem too strange to be

The an-cestors prayed each day
Knew you to know the way
Thanks for the life I lead
Thanks for every deed

Wado,
Kevin Porter a.k.a. unawi
