You think you own whatever 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 and a name You think the only people who are people Are the 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 Refren: Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinnig bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains Can you paint with all the colors of the wind Can u paint with all the colors 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'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 in a hoop that never ends refren: Have you ever herad 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 mountains Can you paint with all the colors of the wind Can you paint with all the colors of the wind How high will the sycamore grow If you cut it then you'll never know Refren: And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For weather we are white or copper skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains We need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still And you'll own is earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind
