Pocahontas - Colors Of The Wind + Lyrics

Disney's Pocahontas

Colors Of The Wind

[Pocahontas]
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

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 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 sunsweet 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

How high will 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 mountains
We 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

[kiopyu78]

would have been nice if history were more like this

[RocketMySEO]

man i miss my childhood: no homework, no troubles, no nothing. just life, plain and simple through an innocent five year old's eyes...

[Tinaboo1998]

one of my favorite disney movies. EVERRRRRR.

[cupkaketop]

hey! shut up yous

[Isreal4realz]

@Lequin2582 very little is based on the 'true story". this movie is a prime example of american propaganda in an art form.

[Isreal4realz]

@morningstar9691 so where did all the indians go? did they just disappear? if you really are indian then YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. you don't need to defend the whites as they already wrote the history books in their favor. when you celebrate Columbus Day, just remember that it was the day that marked the beginning of the genocide of the entire indian people/culture.

[morningstar9691]

@Isreal4realz If anything is bullshit it's this comment. I'm both a Native girl and a "White" girl. Yes what the "whites" did to the Natives is bad but no one knows the WHOLE TRUE story except for the people who were actually there and even they would twist the story in their faovr, and it's all in the past there's not one damn thing you can do about it now. Quit looking for attention, all you wanna do is start something, just stop and get over what happened CENTURIES ago.

[Lequin2582]

This is probably one of the best disney movies. Not only it is based on a true story but it's lesson is probably one of the most important ones. Very beautiful song with a divine meaning.

[yogirl177]

i might bring the movie in for social studies thank you.

[frackess123]

@Isreal4realz you are so right. we whites wont admit our failers. I assume you are not white?

anyway, yeah we americans are an ignorant, selfish people. we hate to admit to what horrid things we have done over the centuries. we are the savages really, the indians were just doing their thing and then we came and destroyed them.
