Every 10th word

The white buffalo calf has arrived
A sacred omen, sign from above
The herd in Yellowstone, the last its kind
Brings hope for the future, a blessing love

Oh Great Spirit, hear our song
Guide us restore what was lost for so long
The buffalo roam, the people rejoice
The white calf returns, we raise our voice

For centuries the tribes have passed down
story of the White Buffalo Woman
She came in time of great need, with gifts all around
To the people how to live, how to pray, how grow

The herds were decimated, the people suffered too
now a new chapter, a chance to renew
The land, the culture, the bond that was broke
As the calf stands tall, a powerful provoke

The white buffalo calf, a sacred sight
A beacon of hope, a future bright
For the Yellowstone herd, the last of its
May the Great Spirit's blessings forever be entwined.
