Hello Hive Open Mic Community!
It's me, @usagidee and I am back to submit my 165th entry for this week. Since the theme is all about, “In Love with Nature and Mother Earth” , I would like to share with you my cover of the song, Colors Of The Wind from the Disney Movie, Pocahontas. To be really honest, I was going to perform Heal the World by Michael Jackson, but when I was looking through some similar songs on YouTube, I found this song and started to practice it because I really don't like Pocahontas.
But after hearing this song, I realized how well it matched the week's topic. The song Colors of the Wind discusses the environment and how Mother Nature is essential to improving life for both animals and people.
I believe this song can be a powerful wakeup call amidst all of the recent tragedies we've seen, and in order for our future generation to live in a safe and prosperous environment, we must act promptly. A song entitled Colors of the Wind encourages us to treat Mother Nature gently since everything we do impacts the future. Let's all take advantage of what the ecosystem has to offer and make sure that we're all doing everything we can to preserve the environment for future generations.

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
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
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
Here's the instrument source of my cover
