x[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 Em
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]
C Am
come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
C Em
come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Am F
Come Roll in all the riches all around you
Dm G Am
and for once never wonder what they're worth
C Am
the rain storm and the river are my brothers
C Em
the herron and the otter are my friends
Am F
and we are all connected to each other
Dm G Am
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
[BRIDGE]
C F Em Am
how high does the Sickamore grow?
Dm G
if you cut it down then you'll never know
[CHORUS]
Am Em F
you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Am Em
or wheather we are white or copper skin
F G Am
you need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
F G
you need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Am Em
you can own the earth and still all you own is earth until
F G C
you can paint with all the colors of the wind
