Colors Of The Wind

 

The highlighted words below form part of my current thesis ... 

The rest reflect how awesome God and nature is ...

We are all in tune with nature - and we are all the same!!!

 

By Vanessa Williams

 

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 asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?  
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?  
Can you paint with all the colors 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 they're 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
 


Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?  
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been?  
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?  
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
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 whether we are white or copper skinned  
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains  
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind


You can own the earth and still  
All you'll own is earth until  
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
