2011 Colors of the Wind









You think you own whatever land you land on
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 learn things you never knew
You never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
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
And 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

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
or let the eagle tell you where hes been
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


How high does the sycamore 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 just sing with all the voices of the mountain
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 colors of the wind.





  • If I never knew you
    If I never felt this love
    I would have no inkling of
    How precious life can be


    And if I never held you
    I would never have a clue
    How at last I find in you
    The missing part of me
    In this world so full of fear
    Full of raging lies
    I can see the truth so clear
    In your eyes、so dry your eyes


    And I'm so grateful to you
    I'd have lived my whole life through
    Lost forever
    If I never knew you


    If I never knew you
    I'd be safe、but half as real
    Never knowing I could feel
    A love so strong and true


    I\'m so grateful to you
    I\'d have lived my whole life through
    Lost forever
    If I never knew you


    I thought our love would be so beautiful
    Somehow we\'d make the whole world right
    I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
    All they leave are worthless whispers in the night
    But still my heart is saying we were right

    If I never knew you

    ( There is no moment I regret )
          If I never knew this love
          ( Since the moment that we met )
          I'd have no inkling of how precious life can be
          ( If our time\'s auspicious as that )
           ( Is here at last )


            I thought our love would be so beautiful
          ( So beautiful )
           Somehow we make the world right
           thought our love would be so beautiful
          We turn the darkness into light
          And still my heart is saying we were right

          We were right
          And if I never knew you
          If I never knew you
           I'd have lived my whole life through


         Empty as the sky
         Never knowing why
          Lost forever
         If I never knew you
