Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

You think you own whatever land you land on
the 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.

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 never knew

chorus1:
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon,

or ask the grinning bobcat why he grins

chorus2:
can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
can you paint with all the colors of the wind x2

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 hairen and the honor are my friends,
and we are all conected to each other
in a circle, in a hope that never ends

chorus 1

or let the eagle tell you where he's been

Chorus 2

How high can th 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 you are white or copper skinned
need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
need 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.
