C Am
You think you own whatever land you land on
C Em
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Am Em F C
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Dm G Am
Has a life has a spirit has a name
C Am F
You think the only people who are people
C Em
Are the people who look and think like you
Am Em F C
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Dm G C
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Em Am Em
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue
F
corn moon
Am Em
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
F G Em Am
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
F C G
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Dm F C
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
G Am F
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
C G Em
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Am G F C
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Dm C G Am G
And for once never wonder what they're worth
C G Am F
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
C G Em
The heron and the otter are my friends
Am G F C
And we are all connected to each other
Dm F C
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
G Em Am
How high will the sycamore grow
Dm G
If you cut it down then you'll never know
Em Am Em
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue
F
corn moon
Am G Em
For whether we are white or copper skinned
F G Em Am
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
F C G
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Dm G
You can own the Earth and still
Em F
All you'll own is Earth until
Am Em F G C
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
