Lyrics for Colors of the Wind by Vanessa Williams:
| | | Artist: | Vanessa Williams |
| | Album: | Pocahontas Soundtrack | | Track: | Colors of the Wind | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 265 | | | | Lyrics: | Verse 1)
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing
you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and tree and creature
Has a life has a spirit
has a name
(Verse 2)
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 things you never knew you never knew
(Chorus 1)
Have you ever heard the
wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you
sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
(Verse 3)
Come run the
hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste 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
(Verse 4)
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
(Chorus 2)
Have you ever heard 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
mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the
colors of the wind?
(Bridge)
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you
cut it down, then you'll never know
(Chorus 3)
And you'll never hear the wolf
cry to the blue corn moon
For, whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing
with all the voices of the mountain
We need to 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
