The great plain's seed, Lion River's bed,
Each drop is sustaining life, the earth,
Unless snow falls, water is cycled
Little oceans join in to give us.
Master the rivers, and ye rule the earth,
Every grain, leaf, petal and stem,
Every drop of blood, air we breathe.
My indebtedness, O bigger universe,
We are all gems, rains-drops, leaves -
We are inheritors of the bounties
Explored, known and unknown, unexplored.
