Colors Of The Wind Lyrics

(feat. Shi Shi)

 You think you own whatever land you land on

 The earth is just a dead thing you can claim

 But I know every rock and tree and creature

 Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

 

 You think the only people who are people

 Are the people who look and think like you

 But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

 You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

 

 Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

 Or ask the grinning bob cat why he grins

 Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

 

 [Shi Shi]

 Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

 Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth

 Come roll in all the riches all around you

 And for once never wonder what they're worth

 

 The rainstorm and the river are my brothers

 The heron and the otter are my friends

 And we are all connected to each other

 In a circle of a hope that never ends

 

 Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

 Or let the eagle tell you where he's been

 Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

 Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

 

 How high does the sycamore grow

 If you cut it down then you'll never know

 And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

 For whether we are white or copper skinned

 We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain

 We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

 

 You can own the earth and still

 All you own is earth until

 You can paint with all the colors of the wind
