Ashanti - Colors Of The Wind Lyrics






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 bob cat why he grins?
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?

[Shi Shi]
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
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle of 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 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 need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the earth and still
All you own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

    Pochontas is one of my favorite Disney movies. I was 5 years old when the movie first came out in 1995. and Ashanti did a great cover of this song in 2003.

    A.... m....

    Angela m wow this is from 2003??

    A.... m....

    No. the movie came out in 1995. but this music video is from 2003

  29. A.... ....

    I really miss when Disney did this

    A.... ....

    Me too. I was like 13 years old when Ashanti first did this song in 2003 she's a great singer

    A.... ....

    Angela m then I was 17 when she did this . 😵 How so many years passed so quickly....

    A.... ....

    So do I, is the only reason I'm here missing the nostalgia. I was 10 when this was on Disney commercials.

    A.... ....

    Me too they need to bring it back

    A.... ....

    Same. I was 4 during this time

  30. s.... p....

    her sister only sings one verse throughout the entire song.

  31. E.... ....

    Makes me cry every time😭😭😭😭

  32. E.... R....

    I still have this CD! :) :)

  33. s.... s....

    I like Ashanti's version so natural and straight from the heart.

    s.... s....

    more lyrical and tougher than than the actual sound of the movie actor. and the duet between her and Sis Shi Shi just gives me chills (in a good way of course)

    s.... s....

    what exactly is a "blue corn moon"? O_o

    s.... s....

    Me too I wonder how she’s been doing

  34. K.... B....

    Beautiful! I will always keep this song in my heart.
