VERSE
You [C]think you own what ever land you land [Am]on
the [C]earth is just a dead thing you can [Em]claim
but I [Am]know every rock and tree and [F]creature
has a [Dm]life, has a [G]spirt, has a [Am]name
you [C]think the only people who are [Am]people
are the [C]people who look and think like [Em]you
but [Am]if you walk the footsteps of a [F]stranger
you'll learn [Dm]things you never [G]knew never knew [C]
.
CHORUS
have you [Am]ever heard the wolf cry to the [Em]blue corn [F]moon
or [Am]ask the grinning bobcat why he [E]grins
can you [F]sing with all the [G]voices of the [Am]mountain
can you [F]paint with all the colors of the wind [G]
can you [F]paint with all the [G]colors of the [C]wind
.
VERSE
come [C]run the hidden pine trails of the [Am]forest
come [C]taste the sun sweet berries of the [Em]earth
Come [Am]Roll in all the riches all around [F]you
and for [Dm]once never [G]wonder what they're [Am]worth
the rain storm and the river are my brothers
the herron and the otter are my friends
and we are all connected to each other
in a circle of a hope that never ends
.
[C]how [F]high does the [Em]Sickamore [Am]grow?
if you [Dm]cut it down then you'll [G]never know
.
CHORUS
you'll [Am]never hear the wolf cry to the [Em]blue corn [F]moon
or [Am]wheather we are white or copper [E]skin
you need to [F]sing with all the [G]voices of the [Am]mountain
you need to [F]paint with all the colors of the [G]wind
you can own the earth and still oh you own this earth until
you can paint with all the colors of the wind
