3. BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE

I PRAYED IN THE SILENCE OF THE DREAMTIME
AND THE GREAT WHITE BUFFALO RAISED HIS HEAD
WITH BREATH THAT TURNED TO SMOKE BEFORE MY STARING EYES
THE SACRED PIPE OF PEACE HE BORE
WITHIN ITS BOWL, THE GIFTS OF LIFE
AND NATURE'S BLESSINGS DANCED
WITH SPARKS OF WONDER AT CREATION'S JOY
WHILE RACES, CREATURES, NATIONS BURNED IN HARMONY
AND FROM THE GLOWING ASHES
SINGLE SMOKE IN ONENESS ROSE ON HIGH

HEAR THE SONG OF THE SACRED BUFFALO
IN THE SMOKE OUR PRAYERS ARE RISING
WITH THE GIFTS OF LIFE'S SWEET MEDICINE
BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE

SING THE SONG OF THE SACRED BUFFALO
FILL AGAIN THE HORN OF PLENTY
GIVING THANKS TO DANCE THE SPIRIT
WHITE BUFFALO SMOKES US PEACE

AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO SEE ALL HARMONY

SUCH WILLINGNESS, THIS BUFFALO
TO GIVE HIS GIFTS FOR COMMON GOOD
TO SHARE HIS MEAT FOR GREATER PURPOSE
JOYFUL INSTRUMENT OF LIFE
SUCH GENTLENESS, THIS BUFFALO,
TO HONOUR STILL ANOTHER'S PATHWAY
EVEN WHEN IT LEADS TO SADNESS
EVEN WHEN IT SHARPS THE KNIFE

AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO FREE ALL MYSTERY

NOW I PRAY TO WALK BESIDE YOU, WISE AND SACRED BUFFALO
SAFE WITHIN THE EARTH'S ABUNDANCE, BEING WITH SERENITY
AND I HUMBLY ASK FOR GUIDANCE
GRATEFUL FOR EACH RICHNESS GIVEN
MALE AND FEMALE ONE WITHIN ME, JOINED IN THE GREAT MYSTERY

AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO WE WILL HONOUR THEE

I PRAYED IN THE SILENCE OF THE DREAMTIME
AND THE GREAT WHITE BUFFALO RAISED HER HEAD
WITH EYES THAT FILLED WITH FLAMES OF LOVE TO LIGHT THE WORLD
MAY I BE LIKE THE BUFFALO

AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO SMOKES US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, BUFFALO BRINGS US PEACE
AI, AI, AI, AI, HONOURING THE GREAT MYSTERY ARE WE
