A beautiful song and wonderful, touching lyrics
Lyrics;
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
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
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?
Come run the hidden pile 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
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 he’s been?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
(Can you paint?) Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Oh
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
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to 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 the colors of the wind

The universe;
What people believe about our universe
Is constantly being updated, upgraded
As knowledge reveals different new discoveries
We update our ideas and concepts about our world
From a flat earth, traveling on the back of a giant turtle
To the current module we have progressed a lot
Yet some people prefer to idealize the ancient beliefs
Sticking to the ideas outdated and disproven
Some even invent their own concepts instead
And are lost in improbable and impossible realms
Safe to say that life is not a fairytale but grounded in science
See, read and observe how this beautiful universe works
And perhaps you’ll be closer to the truth as we know it now
But there’s no guarantee that tomorrow
Our believes will change again as we keep on discovering new facts!
