Aho Mother Earth our guiding direction
Your Spirit encircles our lives
Your Wisdom gives us discernment It guides us to sustenance
Aho Mother Earth You console our people, You better us
we dance when our land is parched
we sing when You give us rain
the warmth of the star of heaven shines
food and shelter You provide
Aho Mother Earth You will lead us to salvation
we trust in You Aho.
—Micah Johnson
