Lyrics
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 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 <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Come roll in all the riches all around you <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And for once, never wonder what they're worth

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">The rainstorm and the river are my brothers <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">The heron and the otter are my friends <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And we are all connected to each other <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">How high will the sycamore grow? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">If you cut it down, then you'll never know <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">For whether we are white or copper skinned <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You can own the Earth and still <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">All you'll own is Earth until <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You can paint with all the colors of the wind
