dream eyes (akisni)

we wake with eyes wide but see nothing
we sleep with eyes shut and recall naught
when we see with dream eyes
sleeping and waking
remember and know
that day we awake
‘til then we ghost dance
yet live on in hope

Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka
   open my dream eyes that I may see light
Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka
   open my dream ears that I may hear truth
Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka
   open my dream heart that I may know love

wéo weh yo weo wéh
   (wéo weh hey weo wéh yo)
wéo weh yo weo wéh
   (wéo weh hey weo wéh yo)
wéo weh yo weo wéh
   (wéo weh hey weo wéh yo)
wéo weh yo weo wéh
   (wéo weh hey weo wéh yo)
