VERSE
CAm You think you own what ever land you land on
CAm The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
FCDm7 But I know every rock and tree and creature
FGAm Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
CAm You think the only people who are people
CAm Are the people who look and think like you
FCDm7 But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
FGC You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
 CHORUS
AmF Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
AmEm Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grins
FGCAm Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Dm7Em Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
FGC Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
 VERSE
CAm Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
CAm Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
FCDm7 Come roll in all the riches all around you
AmG And for once never wonder what they're worth
CAm The rain storm and the river are my brothers
CAm The herron and the otter are my friends
FCDm7 And we are all connected to each other
FGC In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
F How high does the Sickamore grow?
Bb7GG7 if you cut it down then you'll never know
 CHORUS
AmEmF And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
AmEm For whether we are white or copper skinned
FGC Can we sing with all the voices of the mountains
Dm7Em Can we paint with all the colors of the wind
FG You can own the earth and still
CAm All you'll own is earth until
Dm7GC
