You think I'm an ignorant savage,
and you've been so many places i guess it must be so .
but still i can not see , if the savage one is me .
How can there be so much that you dont know
You don't know ...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.Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon,
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned,
can you sing with all the voices of a mountain ,
can you paint with all the colors of the wind .Can you paint with all the colours of the wind .
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest ,
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the earth .
Come roll in all the riches all around you ,
and for once never wonder what their worth .
the rainstorm and the river are my 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.How high does a 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 ,
for whether we are white or copper skinned ,
we need to sing with all the voices of a mountain ,
we 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...
