You think you own whatever land you land on

The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim

But if you 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 asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain

Can you paint with all the colours of the wind

Can you paint with all the colours 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 brother

The heron and the otter and my friends

And we are all connected to each other

In a circle in a hoop that never ends

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 mountain

Can you paint with all the colours of the wind

Can you paint with all the colours 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 colours of the wind

Until You can paint with all the colours of the wind
