Lyrics

Father had the strength of the buffalo
Mother has the grace of the doe
Barefooted tracks took us far from from her
But our path was clear, whereever we would roam
It started with the Creator..winding round in a loop
To end again with the Creator..and His Son who died..
To mend the Sacred Hoop

Father was protective like the bear
Mother was patient like turtle
While walking through the forest one afternoon
My father said..(he said)

Wisdom plays hide and seek my child
So search for her with all you rmight
And one day when you've looked long and hard enough
She'll come and take your hand..and guide you right

So I asked,
Why seek after wisdom more than silver or gold?
What can She teach me, that I need to know?
And with a hint of a smile and in a gentle tone
With a faraway look and he said soft and low..
Wisdom shows you Creators path..to go home.

Father had the courage of badger
Mother had the endurance of salmon
While sending up a morning prayers one day
Mother turned to me and said

Wisdom plays hide and seek my child
So search for her with all your heart
ANd one day when you've looked long and hard enough
Your path will merge with hers..and never part.

Bridge
Im seeking Wisdom (Where are you wisdom)
Im seeking You to make straight my paths
Im seeking Wisdom (Creator give me wisdom)
I need You to gide me on my path

So now I seek after Wisdom more than silver and gold
Seek words of understanding and learn the ways of old
I heard an ancient call drift past the doorway of my heart
Echo past pretentions and wake me with a start
She said "I found you. Come take my hand. Ill lead you home."

Now with children of my own around the fire at night
I try to teach them how to tell the wrong from the right
And when they struggle, when they question at the end of the day
I take them in my arms and gently say

Chorus

Wisdom plays hide and seek (repeat)
