This is a song inspired from a talk I listened to given by a Native American speaker at a Friendship Centre. The talk was about a version of the teaching of the Universal Medicine Wheel. I've since heard a number of different versions of this topic, but the song is based on the one I heard that day. That talk was, and is, very inspiring to me.

(LYRICS)
Words & Music by Bob Ryan (c)1980
To our snow-white brothers
With the fire in their eyes
With technological advancements
That can propel us through the skies
We’re all brothers
so let the four winds speak
Brothers and sisters
the time has come for us to meet
To our yellow brethren
With the breath of air for man
The atmosphere for the rebirth
Of a suffocating human kind
And our red fathers
The guardians of the land
The healing herbs of Mother Nature
In outstretched and open hands
To our black brothers
With life’s waters in their breasts
The flowing streams of life pulsating
To quench the flames of hate and lust
LET THE FOUR WINDS SPEAK
