Harmony Unveiled: Discovering Nature's Secrets in Colors of The Wind
Lyrics
You think I'm an ignorant savage
You believe I lack knowledge and understanding.
And you've been so many places
You have experienced various places and cultures.
I guess it must be so
I acknowledge your experiences might be true.
But still I cannot see
Despite this, I cannot comprehend.
If the savage one is me
If anyone is primitive, it may be me.
How can there be so much that you don't know
How can there be so much that you are unaware of?
You don't know
Emphasizing the lack of knowledge.
You think you own whatever land you land on
You believe you have control over any land you encounter.
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
Viewing the Earth merely as a possession.
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Recognizing the life and spirit in every natural element.
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Attributing life, spirit, and identity to all aspects of nature.
You think the only people who are people
You believe only those similar to you are significant.
Are the people who look and think like you
Promoting diversity by experiencing different perspectives.
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
Encouraging empathy by walking in someone else's shoes.
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Discovering unknown things through diverse experiences.
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Poetically asking about experiencing nature's sounds.
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Pondering the reasons behind nature's behaviors.
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Posing questions about connecting with nature.
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Challenging the ability to appreciate nature's beauty fully.
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiterating the call to appreciate nature's diversity.
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Inviting exploration of hidden paths in nature.
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Encouraging tasting and enjoying the Earth's offerings.
Come roll in all the riches all around you
Encouraging enjoyment of the world's riches without assessing their value.
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
Highlighting the importance of appreciating without questioning.
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
Stating the interconnectedness with natural elements.
The heron and the otter are my friends
Expressing camaraderie with various animals.
And we are all connected to each other
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of all living things.
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Describing a perpetual and connected circle of life.
How high does the sycamore grow?
Raising a rhetorical question about the potential of nature.
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
Warning against destroying nature without understanding its potential.
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Reiterating the question about hearing nature's sounds.
For whether we are white or copper skinned
Emphasizing the need for unity regardless of skin color.
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Advocating for embracing the diversity of nature.
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Encouraging artistic expression inspired by nature's diversity.
You can own the Earth and still
Stating ownership of the Earth is limited.
All you'll own is Earth until
Highlighting the transient nature of material possessions.
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
Reiterating the call to appreciate and understand nature's diversity.
