"COLORS OF THE WIND"

By: Vanessa Williams

Ready?

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...

Chorus

Have you ever heard the wolf cry

To the blue corn moon

Or asked the grinning bobcat why

He grinned...

Can you sing with all the voices

Of the mountains...

Can you paint with all

The colors of the wind...

Can you paint with all

The colors of the wind...

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, in a hoop that, never ends

Chorus

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 mountains...

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...

Chorus

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 mountains

We need to paint with all

The colors, of the wind..

You can own the Earth and still

All you'll own is Earth until...

You can paint with all..the colors

Of... the wind...
