Jennifer Rush Colours Of The Wind Lyrics

Colours Of The Wind lyrics

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 learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grins
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
Go taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come rolling o’er the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they were

The rainstorm and the river run like brothers

The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
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 colours of the wind
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind

How high does the 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 where the will whitehorn got his skin
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
You need to paint with all the colours of the wind
You can own the earth and still all you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colours of the wind
