Colours of the Wind
Discover Nature's Harmony: Colors of Unity in Freya Catherine and Jamie Vizard's Melody
Lyrics
You think you own whatever land you land on
You believe you have ownership of any land you set foot on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
The Earth is not merely a lifeless possession that you can lay claim to
But I know every rock and tree and creature
The speaker understands and appreciates the living essence of every rock, tree, and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Everything in nature possesses a life, spirit, and a distinct identity
You think the only people who are people
You believe that only those who resemble and think like you are truly people
cre the people who look and think like you
If you walk in the footsteps of someone different, you'll gain new knowledge
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Encourages exploring the unknown, stepping into the shoes of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
You'll discover things you were previously unaware of
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Reference to the howling of a wolf and questioning the reasons behind natural phenomena
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Asking about the motives of a grinning bobcat, delving into nature's mysteries
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Ability to harmonize with the diverse elements of nature
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Expressing the capacity to perceive and embrace the variety of life's experiences
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiteration of the call to embrace and appreciate life's diversity
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Invitation to explore the less visible paths in nature
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Encouragement to savor the natural bounties that the Earth offers
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Encouragement to revel in the abundance around without assigning a monetary value
cnd for once, never wonder what they're worth
Suggesting to appreciate things without constantly assessing their material worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
Naming elements of nature as companions and relatives
The heron and the otter are my friends
Highlighting the interconnectedness of humans with animals and nature
cnd we are all connected to each other
Emphasizing the interconnection among all living beings
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Visualizing this interconnectedness as an unending, circular bond
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Repetition of the earlier reference to the wolf's cry and the grinning bobcat
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Reiteration of questioning and exploring the mysteries of nature
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Reiteration of the ability to connect with the voices of the natural world
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiteration of the skill to paint with the diverse hues of life
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Emphasizing the importance of expressing and appreciating life's variety
How high does the sycamore grow?
Pondering the potential growth of a sycamore tree and the consequences of its destruction
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
If the tree is felled, its true height and potential will never be known
cnd you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Repetition of the wolf's cry, emphasizing the universal nature of these experiences
For whether we are white or copper skinned
Regardless of skin color, the need for unity and harmony with nature is stressed
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Underlining the necessity to embrace the voices of the mountain, metaphorically diverse perspectives
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiteration of the call to paint with all the colors of the wind, embracing diversity
You can own the Earth and still
Ownership of the Earth doesn't guarantee true understanding and connection
cll you'll own is earth until
Highlighting the impermanence of material possessions and the enduring value of understanding and harmony
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiteration of the call to embrace and appreciate the rich diversity of life
