Are you saying that the sky is wide?
Are you saying that the sunlight likes to play
Upon your waves?
Are you saying that the time goes fast?
Are you saying that my life won't last too long
Before I'm gone

Gitchi Gummi, Gitchi, Gitchi Gummi
Is there something that you're saying to me?
You look a little bit like God almighty
Such a frightening thing
Keep on talking to me Gitchi Gummi
I need a measure of your holy mystery
Take me to your shore
Set me down and pour
Your mighty water over me

Are you saying I don't know too much,
But if I don't know the earth is such a jewel
I'm such fool?
And are you maybe staring back at me
Saying I am made of earth and water too?
I'm just like you

Gitchi Gummi, Gitchi, Gitchi Gummi
Is there something that you're saying to me?
You look a little bit like God almighty
Such a frightening thing
Keep on talking to me Gitchi Gummi
I need a measure of your holy mystery
Take me to your shore
Set me down and pour
Your mighty water over me
