Color of the wind

Colors of the Wind-Christy Carlson Romano

VERSE

C Am
You think you own what ever land you land on
C Em
the earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Am F
but I know every rock and tree and creature
Dm G Am
has a life, has a spirt, has a name
C Am
you think the only people who are people
C Em
are the people who look and think like you
Am F
but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Dm G C
you'll learn things you never knew never knew

CHORUS
Am Em F
have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Am E
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grins
F G Am
can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
F G
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
F G C
can you paint with all the colors of the wind

VERSE
C Am
come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
C Em
come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Am F
Come Roll in all the riches all around you
Dm G Am
and for once never wonder what they're worth
C Am
the rain storm and the river are my brothers
C Em
the herron and the otter are my friends
Am F
and we are all connected to each other
Dm G C
in a circle of a hope that never ends


C F Em Am
how high does the Sickamore grow?
Dm G
if you cut it down then you'll 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
