Classic Disney movie - Colors Of The Wind lyrics

rate me

Song by Pocahontas<br /><br>

You think I'm an ignorant savage<br>

And you've been so many places<br>

I guess it must be so<br>

But still I cannot see<br>

If the savage one is me<br>

How can there be so much that you don't know?<br>

You don't know ...<br>

<br>

You think you own whatever land you land on<br>

The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim<br>

But I know every rock and tree and creature<br>

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name<br>

<br>

You think the only people who are people<br>

Are the people who look and think like you<br>

But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger<br>

You'll learn things you never knew you never knew<br>

<br>

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon<br>

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?<br>

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?<br>

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?<br>

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?<br>

<br>

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest<br>

Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth<br>

Come roll in all the riches all around you<br>

And for once, never wonder what they're worth<br>

<br>

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers<br>

The heron and the otter are my friends<br>

And we are all connected to each other<br>

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends<br>

<br>

How high will the sycamore grow?<br>

If you cut it down, then you'll never know<br>

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon<br>

<br>

For whether we are white or copper skinned<br>

We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains<br>

We need to paint with all the colors of the wind<br>

<br>

You can own the Earth and still<br>

All you'll own is Earth until<br>

You can paint with all the colors of the wind<br>

<br>
