Lyrics
Brittany:
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
The Chipettes:
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?
Jeanette & Eleanor:
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Brittany:
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest (ooo)
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the earth (ooo)
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The Chipettes:
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
Brittany:
How high will the sycamore grow?
The Chipettes:
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
Brittany:
And you'll
The Chipettes:
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
Jeanette & Eleanor:
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Brittany:
You can own the earth and still
The Chipettes:
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
