VERSE
You [C] think you own what ever land you land [Am] on
the [C] earth is just a dead thing you can [Em] claim
but I [Am] know every rock and tree and [F] creature
has a [Dm] life, has a [G] spirt, has a [Am] name
you [C] think the only people who are [Am] people
are the [C] people who look and think like [Em] you
but [Am] if you walk the footsteps of a [F] stranger
you'll learn [Dm] things you never [G] knew never knew [C]
.
CHORUS
have you [Am] ever heard the wolf cry to the [Em] blue corn [F] moon
or [Am] ask the grinning bobcat why he [E] grins
can you [F] sing with all the [G] voices of the [Am] mountain
can you [F] paint with all the colors of the wind [G]
can you [F] paint with all the [G] colors of the [C] 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] how [F] high does the [Em] Sickamore [Am] grow?
if you [Dm] cut it down then you'll [G] 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
