Thread Name: Lyr Req: nativeamerican song claudia schmidt
Subject: nativeamerican song claudia schmidt sang
I'm desperately searching for a beautiful song I heard Claudia Schmidt sing on Prarie Home Companion in the 80ties, that I very much want to use in my upcoming wedding ceremony. I don't think she ever recorded it. She introduced as a native american indian wedding blessing. The chorus was something like this:

May you find peace in the twilight,
joy in the starlight,
and hope in the fresh bright light of morning
May you grow strong in the sunlight
and wise in the clear light
and grow old with the light of your life

There were also verses, and something about "the bird of paradise". I've searched everywhere? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your help!
