Vanessa Williams - Colors Of The Wind lyrics

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock & tree & creature
Has a life
Has a spirit
Has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look & think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You will 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 grin
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you pain´t with all the colours of the wind
Can you pain´t with all the colours of the wind

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once
Never wonder what they are worth

The rainstorm & the river are my brothers
The heron & the otter are my friends
And we´re 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 let the eagle tell you where he has been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you pain´t with all the colours of the wind
Can you pain´t with all the colours of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down
Then you will never know

And you will never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or whether we´re white or copper skin
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to pain´t with all the colours of the wind

You can own the earth & suntil
All you will own is earth till
You can pain´t with all the colours of the wind
