The lyrics of "Great Spirit" by Armin Van Buuren, Vini Vici, and Hilight Tribe are a mix of Native American Lakota language and English. The song celebrates the greatness and power of the Great Spirit, Wakan Tanka, and it also makes a reference to the Lakota people, their traditions and beliefs. The Great Spirit is described as the creator of all things, the source of life and wisdom, and the one who brings harmony and balance to the world.
The lyrics also mention other important figures in the Lakota culture, such as the hunkaschila, or the younger brothers who are initiated into ceremonies, and the tunkasila, or the grandfather spirits who guide and protect the people. The akicita, or the warriors, and the wohitika, or the brave men, are also mentioned as part of the oyate, or the tribe. The wiyan wakan, or the holy woman, is portrayed as a source of spiritual insight and guidance for the people.
Overall, the lyrics of "Great Spirit" convey a message of reverence, respect, and unity towards the natural world, the creator, and the community. They encourage listeners to connect with their inner selves, embrace their spiritual heritage, and work towards a better future for themselves and others.
