Colors of the Wind

Disney animated film 《Pocahontas》 theme song “Colors of the Wind,” a song of awe before nature~              

Colors of the Wind

You think I’m an ignorant savage and you’ve been so many places.            
  

I guess it must be so but still I cannot see. 

If the savage one is me, how can there be so much that you don’t know, you
don’t 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 sprit 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 asked the grinning bobcat why be grinned. 

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain. 

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind. 

Can you 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 rainstorm and the river are my brothers. 

The beron and the otter are my friends. 

And we are all connected to each other in a circle in a hoop that never
ends. 

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon. 

Or asked the grinning bobcat why be grinned. 

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain. 

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind. 

How high does the 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 wherber we are white of copper skinned. 

We need to sing with all the colors of the wind. 

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

You can paint with all the colors of the wind.

I’ve always been very interested in Native American culture! 

I once stumbled into a Native American culture website and collected many hard-to-find pictures!                            

I also really like this song…… 

Of course, I also really like that story……
