color of the wind

You think you own what ever 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 people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn the things; you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked a 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?

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 hoop 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
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
You 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 colors of the wind.
