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
