Do Lam
You think you own whatever land you land on
Do Mim
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Lam Fa
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Rem Sol Do
has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Do Lam
You think the only people who are people
Do Mim
are the people who look and think like you
Lam Fa
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Rem Sol Do
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Lam Mim Fa
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Lam Mim
or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Fa Sol Lam
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Fa Sol
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Fa Sol Do
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Do Lam
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Do Mim
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Lam Fa
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Rem Sol Do
and for once never wonder what they're worth
Do Lam
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
Do Mim
The heron and the otter are my friends
Lam Fa
And we are all connected to each other
Rem Sol Do
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
Do Fa Mim Lam
How high does the sycamore grow?
Rem Sol
If you cut it down then you'll never know
Lam Mim Fa
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Lam Mim
For whether we are white- or copper-skinned
Fa Sol Lam
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Fa Sol
You need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Lam Mim
You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until
Fa Sol Do
you can paint with all the colors of the wind
