The moon, he is waiting, waxing and waning,
the moon, he is waiting, for us to be free.
Brother moon watch over me, a child I will always be,
brother moon watch over me, until we are free.
The sun, she is shining, brightly she’s shining,
the sun, she is shining, lightning the way.
Sister sun, shine over me, your child I will always be,
sister sun, shine over me, until we can see.
The fire is burning, destroying and healing,
the fire is burning, for us to be pure.
Violet flame burn over me, a child I will always be,
violet flame burn over me, until we are pure.
