Hi Everyone
This week for the theme of Brave Mind I want to take a shot at a song I was inspired to learn when I heard @chaste-music sing it 2 weeks ago for the theme of colourful.
The song is Colours of The Wind by Vanessa Williams for the Disney Movie Pocahontas.
I thought it suits this weeks theme due to Pocahontas being a native American.In this context perhaps Brave can mean the mind set of aNative American Indian Brave.
The song is fun to sing , I dont feel I do these Diva songs justice like @chate-music does but it was fun to try and get through this eco conscious Disney song fo you guys this week.
I hope you will enjoy my version.
"Colors of the Wind"
Vanessa Williams
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?
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
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
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 moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
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
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
