You think you own, whatever land you land on

Earth is just a dead thing, you can claim

But I know every rock and tree and creature

Has a soul, 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 foot steps of a stranger

You’ll learn things you never knew.

You think you own, whatever land you land on

Earth is just a dead thing, you can claim

But I know every rock and tree and creature

Has a soul, 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 foot steps of a stranger

You’ll learn things you never knew.

Have you ever heard a wolf cry to a blue corn moon

Or asked the grinning bob cat why he grins?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forrest;

Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth.

Come roll in the riches all around you

And for once, never wonder what it’s worth.

The rain storms and the rivers are my bothers,

The heron and the otter are my friends

We are all connected to each other

By a circle, in a hoop that never ends.

And does the eagle let you know where he has been?

How high does the sycamore grow?

If you cut it down, then you willl never know

And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon.

Whether we are white or copper skinned

We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains

And paint with all the colors of the wind.

You can own the earth, and still all you’ll own is earth

Till you can paint with all the colors of the wind.
