 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 think  you own whatever land you land  on
 the earth  is just a dead thing 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 mountain?
 
 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 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 heron  and the otter are my friends
 And we  are all connected to each other
 In a circle  in a hoop  that never ends.
How  high  does the sickamore  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 mountain,
 
 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.
