Blood Brother
Standing at the brook
Babbling as it wanders
Along the path of its winding
Creek bottom singing as it goes along
Together we two stand
Here about to make our vows
Of brother - sister bond
We are about to share
The shaman stands before us
The knife in his hand
Ready for us to make
The cut for our bonding
It is a symbol of our faith
In each other as we stand
Ready to become related
Our paths forever joined
What was once apart
Will now be united
Forever in sacrifice
In a bonding sacred and true
Great Spirit we beseech you
Watch as we make our vows
To join together as one
Brother and Sister bound
Great Spirit we beseech you
Guide our Journeys as we go along
Keep our moccasins on this road
With our Souls forever in your light
Great Spirit we beseech you
Keep our spirits safe
For today we become not two
But one in our faith
Brother I will gladly
Draw the knife and make the cut
To become one with you
As Great Spirit guides me to do
Blood Brother forever...........
