1000 Mile 4 Directional Run Theme Song
 
   Leonard Peltier is always in the minds and hearts of all the runners regardless of the purpose of the run. The injustice of what has been and continues for Leonard simply can never be forgotten by the guys and gals who run. Leonard's strength and dignity inspire all of us to achieve. His home for the last 30 years is in the background and his spiritual presense inspired this song which will be sung on every future 1000 Mile 4 Directional Run. This is for you Leonard.
 
 

To the 4 directions peace
to the 4 directions justice
to the 4 directions mercy
to the 4 directions love

Every step is a prayer
and every mile is a ceremony
and every footprint a record of our love

See a flower not content
just to grow where the grass is green
through the cracks in the road
on the edge of change

To the North I send peace
to the West I send justice
to the South I send mercy
to the East I send love

And every breath is a prayer
and every smile is a ceremony
and every song I sing for you

I'm a flower not content
just to grow where the grass is green
along the road on the edge of change

To the 4 directions peace
to the 4 directions justice
to the 4 directions mercy
to the 4 directions love

This I pray
thus I sing my prayer
