- Colors Of The Wind
- Vanessa Williams
- Album: Pocahontas Soundtrack

-
- Think you own whatever land you land on
- Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
- But I know every rock and tree and creature
- Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
-
- 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 learn things you never knew
- You never knew
-
- 1-Have you ever heard the wolf cry
- to the blue corn moon?
- or ask the grinning 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 you paint with all the colors of the wind?
-
- Come run the hidden pinetrails 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
-
- The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
- And 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
- (rpt 1
- ...or let the eagle tell you where he's been)
-
- How high does the sycamore grow
- If you cut it down, then you'll never know
-
- And you'll never hear the wolf cry
- To the blue corn moon
- Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
- We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
- 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
