You think you own whatever land you land on |
[00:32.415] |
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim |
[00:36.432] |
But I know every rock and tree and creature |
[00:42.481] |
Has a life has a spirit has a name |
[00:49.444] |
You think the only people who are people |
[00:54.478] |
Are the people who look and think like you |
[00:59.433] |
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger |
[01:05.486] |
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew |
[01:11.438] |
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon |
[01:17.418] |
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned |
[01:22.474] |
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains |
[01:28.478] |
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind |
[01:34.451] |
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind |
[01:43.454] |
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest |
[01:48.497] |
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth |
[01:54.403] |
Come roll in all the riches all around you |
[01:59.477] |
And for once never wonder what they're worth |
[02:06.421] |
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers |
[02:11.443] |
The heron and the otter are my friends |
[02:17.444] |
And we are all connected to each other |
[02:22.488] |
In a circle in a hoop that never ends |
[02:28.438] |
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon |
[02:34.402] |
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been |
[02:38.491] |
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain |
[02:45.463] |
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind |
[02:51.403] |
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind |
[02:57.441] |
How high does the sycamore grow |
[03:02.133] |
If you cut it down then you'll never know |
[03:10.859] |
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon |
[03:16.865] |
For whether we are white or copper skinned |
[03:22.804] |
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains |
[03:27.850] |
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind |
[03:33.815] |
You can own the Earth and still |
[03:36.834] |
All you'll own is Earth until |
[03:40.284] |
You can paint with all the colors of the wind |
