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 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 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, in a hoop that never ends 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'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind
A panoramic painting depicts a fantastical landscape with a wise Native American woman in the center, surrounded by animals and natural elements. On the left, a wolf howls at a full moon above a cliff with pine trees, and below it, a bobcat sits by a stream with corn stalks. The central figure, a Native American woman, has long flowing hair adorned with feathers and beads, her eyes closed in contemplation, with colorful wind patterns swirling around her. On the right, a bald eagle soars above a sunset-lit sky, under which a group of Native American figures stand on a hill. A dreamcatcher hangs to the right, and in the foreground, a heron stands in a river next to an otter. The entire scene is filled with text from the song "Colors of the Wind," emphasizing themes of nature, respect for the Earth, and interconnectedness.
