12. You need to Paint with all the Colors of the Wind.... [ACCIDENTAL VOICE POST]
Click to viewYou think I'm an ignorant savage,
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so."
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me.
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...
[Sound of grass crunching]
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim,
But I know every tree and living 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 mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
[Sound of rushing wind, crunching grass]
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest.
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth.
[Sound of rustling leaves, slight purring in the voice]
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth.
[Softer crunching, rustling stops]
The treetops and the forest are my brothers
The river and the moorland are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.
[Emotional]
How high will 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 mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.
[Crunching stops]
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint...with all the colors of the wind.
[Sigh]
Very nice, Firestar-sama! I didn't know you could sing like that!
[Surprised yowl, end transmission]
