Wocekiya - My Prayer

Wakan Tanka,
Wowahwala mak'uye hecel taku
blutokca owakihi sni hena iwacu kte

Great Mistery,
grant me the Serenity to accept
the things I cannot change

Na Wo'ohitika un taku blutokca
owakihi kin hena ecamun kte,
Na Woksape un lena slolwayinkte

Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference
