Think you own whatever land you land on Earth is just a thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, a spirit, has a name Think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You learn things you never knew You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of mountains? Can you paint with all the of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pinetrails of the forest Come 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 rivers are my brothers And the heron and the are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle in a that never ends
Repeat *] 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 corn moon Or whether we are white or copper-skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains 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
