Colors of the Wind - Judy Kuhn

[00:06.47]You think I'm an ignorant savage
[00:09.52]
[00:09.78]And you've been so many places;
[00:11.74]I guess it must be so
[00:14.38]But still I cannot see,
[00:16.82]if the savage one is me
[00:20.08]How can there be so much that you don't know?
[00:26.02]You don't know...
[00:33.03]
[00:39.37]You think you own whatever land you land on
[00:44.06]The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
[00:48.85]But I know every rock and tree and creature
[00:53.18]Has a life, has a spirit, has a name.
[00:58.36]You think the only people who are people
[01:02.87]Are the people who look and think like you
[01:06.60]But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
[01:10.93]You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
[01:15.16]Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
[01:20.98]Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
[01:24.93]Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
[01:30.32]Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
[01:34.01]Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
[01:42.35]
[01:48.59]Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
[01:53.77]Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
[01:57.20]Come roll in all the riches all around you
[02:01.17]And for once never wonder what they're worth
[02:05.59]The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
[02:09.89]The heron and the otter are my friends
[02:14.38]And we are all connected to each other
[02:18.48]In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
[02:22.43]How high does a sycamore grow?
[02:27.67]If you cut it down then you'll never know
[02:32.84]And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
[02:40.11]For whether we are white or copper skinned
[02:44.33]We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
[02:48.92]We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
[02:53.76]You can own the earth and still
[02:57.43]All you'll own is earth until
[03:01.36]You can paint with all the colors of the wind
