Subject: RE: Lyr Req: nativeamerican song claudia schmidt
Dang, I thought the Website would work. Well, I'll get to work and see what I can find. The one I was thinking about is "Blessing," written by Claudia Schmidt and recordt and Sally Rogers on the "Closing the Distance" CD. I don't think that's the one, though. The CD doesn't have a lyric sheet, unfortunately. The first verse is:

I am a dreamer and I am a doer,
Bless us both, set us both free.
I am a maker and I am a user,
Bless us both, set us both free.
I am a lover and I am a hater,
Bless us both, set us both free.
And I am among you, yet I am alone,
Bless us both, set us both free.
[scat interlude, then more verses]

It has a Native American feel to it, but I don't think it's the one you want. It's a good song, though. I may complete the transcription later and post it here.
