聂云辉 Mike Nie

You think you own whatever land you land onThe Earth is just a dead thing you can claimBut I know every rock, and tree, and creatureHas a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are peopleAre the people who look and think like youbut if you walk the footsteps of a strangerYou'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 a mountain?Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

We run the hidden pine trails of the forestCome taste the sun-sweet berries of the EarthCome roll in all the riches all around youAnd for once, never wonder what they're worthThe rainstorm and the river are my brothersThe heron and the otter are my friends

And we are all connected to each otherIn a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?Or let the eagle tell you where's 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 moonFor whether we are white or copper skinnedWe need to sing with all the voices of the mountainWe 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
