Colors Of The Wind
You think i'm a ignorant savage, and you been so many places i guess it must be so.but still i can not see if the savage one is me, how can there be so much that you don't know..you don't know......
you think you own whatever land you land on
the earth is just a dead thing you can claim,
but i know very 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 walked the footsteps of a stranger you'd learn things you never knew, you never knew
(Chrous)
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue cold moon,
or asked the grining bobcat why he grins.
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 wondered what their worth
the rain storm and the river are my brothers,
the herin and the otter are my friends,
and we are all connected to each other in a Circle in a hoop that never ends
(chrous)
How high does the sigamore grow, if you cut it down then youll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue cold moon, or whether we are white or colored skin.
Need to sing with the voices of the mountain
need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still on your own earth until you can paint with all the colors of the wind

    I posted these lyrics to a blog website, as an exanple of animistic phikosophy. I write sonnets myself, and followed up with one of my sonnets in a later post. Another poster on the blog noted that she read my sonnet with the Pocohontas tune in her head, and they matched up. I looked more closely at "Colors of the Wind", and realized, it was almost entirely in iambic pentameter, just like a sonnet!

    I've had people ask me to put my sonnets to music. I was hoping to contact the person who wrote the music, yo asj permission to adapt his music to my sonnets. Can you help me out?
