::Colors of the wind


You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry 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 there 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 colors of the wind

::Dreamin'


For the life of me I never thought that it could be
the way it stands right now
emotions running high
every night I wish that I
I would tell you how I feel
those words are here in my heart
oh the words are just the same part

How to put it together
How to say it right
and let you know that every night

I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
hopin' baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
hopin' baby you will be there

Let me take time now
to try and find out
if this could really be
if he notices me
I'll live in a fantasy
how should I feel
those words are here in my heart
oh but that is just the same part

How to put it together
How to say it right
and let you know that every night

I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
hopin' baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin', dreamin'
hopin' baby you will be there

Those words are here in my heart
but that is just the same part

How to put it together
How to say it right
and let you know that every night

I'll be dreamin', I'll be dreamin'
I'll be dreamin', I'll be dreamin'
I keep on dreamin' 'bout you, every night
uh, I'm dreamin' 'bout you, every night

Make you homin'

Fantasy

Now living in a middle of a dream
a dream with a little bit fatasy
hopin' baby, hopin' baby you will be there
Now living in a middle of a dream
a dream with a little bit fantasy

::Love Is


They say it's a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
it conquers all, it changes everything

They say it's a blessing, they say it's a gift
they say it's a miracle
and I believe that it is
it conquers all, but it's a mystery

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
and it fades away so easily

In this world we've created
in this place that we live
in the blink of an eye the darkness slips in
love lights the world 
unites the lovers for eternity

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
to the beauty that remains

Look at this place
it was paradise, but now it's dying
I'll pray forlove
I'll take my chances that it's not too late

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard 
and fades away so easily

Oh oh oh

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
to the beauty that remains

::The Sweetest Days


You and I, in this moment
Holding the night so close
Hanging on, still unbroken
While outside the thunder rolls

Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Warm against life's bitter cold
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

There are times that scare me
Were rattle the house like a wind
Both of ours so unbending
We battle the fear within

All the while, life is rushing by us
Hold it now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

So we'll whisper a dream here in the darkness
Watching the stars till they're gone
And then even the memories have all faded away
These days go on and on

Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Hold me now and don't let go
These are the days
Every day is the sweetest day we'll know

These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know
