JUDY KUHN COLOURS OF THE WIND [FROM DISNEY'S POCAHONTAS] LYRICS
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that
you don't know?
You don't know...
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
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 necer knew
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 colours of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
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.
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to eachother
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
How high does the sicamore grow?
If you cut it down then you'll never know
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
Need to paint with all the colours of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you own is earth untill you can paint with all the colours of the wind
