Ashanti Colors Of The Wind Lyrics

Colors Of The Wind Lyrics

You think you own what ever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing
that you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
has a life
has a spirit has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are
people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a
stranger
You learn the things you never knew you never knew

Have you
ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bob cat
why he grins
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

Come run the hidden pine shells of the forest
Come taste the
sun sweet berries of the earth
Come roam all the ridges all around you
And
for once never wonder what they’re worth

The rainstorm and the river
are my brother
The herein and the otter are my friend
And we are all
connected to each other
In a circle of a hoop that never ends.

Have
you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue
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

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down then
you’ll never know
You’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn
moon
for weather we are white or copper skinned

You need to sing with
all the voices of the mountain
You need to paint with all the colors of the
wind.
You can own the earth and still all you wont be sure until
You can
paint with all the colors of the wind
