SACAGAWEA’S PRAYER
©David Walburn 1999
VERSE
It’s the weight of the world for an Indian girl
But she has to be strong for the boy
It’s not the life that she would choose but what can she do
She has to be strong for the boy
CHORUS
She prays every night to the spirits above
So they might look out for their own
To give her the strength and show her the way
So she can be strong for the boy
VERSE
She’s a girl among men but they won’t see her bend
She has to be strong for the boy
No time to cry it’s all do or die
She has to be strong for the boy
CHORUS (Repeat)
It’s the weight of the world for and Indian girl
But she has to be strong for the boy
She has to be strong for the boy
