Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Verse 1] C Am You think you own whatever land you land on C Em The earth is just a dead thing you can claim Am F But I know every rock and tree and creature Dm G Am has a life, has a spirit, has a name C Am You think the only people who are people C Em are the people who look and think like you Am F But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger Dm G C you'll learn things you never knew you never knew [Chorus] Am Em F Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Am Em or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned F G Am Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain F G Can you paint with all the colors of the wind F G C Can you paint with all the colors of the wind [Verse 2] C Am Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest C Em Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth Am F Come roll in all the riches all around you Dm G Am and for once never wonder what they're worth C Am The rain storm and the river are my brothers C Em The heron and the otter are my friends Am F And we are all connected to each other Dm G C in a circle in a hoop that never ends [Bridge] C F Em Am How high does the sycamore grow? Dm G If you cut it down then you'll never know [Chorus] Am Em F And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Am Em For whether we are white- or copper-skinned F G Am You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain F G You need to paint with all the colors of the wind Am Em You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until F G C you can paint with all the colors of the wind
