Wi n’ de Ya ho —  Cherokee Morning Song — Walela

Wash Your Spirit Clean — Walela

~Wash your spirit clean~
Give away the things you don’t need
Let it all go and you’ll soon see
And you’ll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean
Go and pray upon a mountain
Go and pray beside the ocean
And you’ll wash your spirit clean
Wash Your spirit clean
Be grateful for the struggle
Be thankful for the lessons
And you’ll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean
Give away the things you don’t need
Let it all go and you’ll soon see
And you’ll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean

    • I’m sorry, the origin of Bear is different, sort of, it evolved, it is not any sort of official Gift name. More on the order of a nick-name that just stuck. I’m known by several different handles in different circles.
      —Walela is a well known group. They performed some of the songs in Oh Brother Where Are Thou” We n’ de Ya ho being a traditional song is well known also. I’m not special for knowing of it. I just thought of you and how exhausted you must be yet how joyful to greet the new dawn.
