I'm setting this up so that you can make your own lyric sheet for your ritual. Clicking on the word "Lyric" will take you to a page that you can copy and paste into your own compilation.
Listed alphabetically, the titles in blue are links to a You Tube rendition of the song. (If I could find one.) There may be ads at the beginning but you can click out of them. Some of the songs are also found in the celebration that supports the theme of the song.

Wichitai Tai / Lyrics: The lyrics in the You Tube renditions I found are different than those on the song sheet attached. However, it's a really fun song. In addition, I put a link to a German school singing it, which was just delightful. There was also an amazing Native American dancer using the song available on You Tube (not included because I enjoyed the kids singing so much). The words mean, "Water spirits are running round my head. I'm so glad I'm alive!"
