Colors Of The Wind

Text File
[VERSE]
C Am
You think you own what ever land you land on
C Em
the earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Am F
but I know every rock and tree and creature
Dm G Am
has a life, has a spirt, has a name
C Am
you think the only people who are people
C Em
are the people who look and think like you
Am F
but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Dm G C
you'll learn things you never knew never knew
[CHORUS]
Am Em F
have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Am E
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grins
F G Am
can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
F G
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
F G C
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
[VERSE]
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 rain storm and the river are my brothers
the herron and the otter are my friends
and we are all connected to each other
in a circle of a hope that never ends
C F Em Am
how high does the Sickamore grow?
Dm G
if you cut it down then you'll never know
[CHORUS]
you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
or wheather we are white or copper skin
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 oh you own this earth until
you can paint with all the colors of the wind
