KID AT HEART: Pocahontas

POCAHONTAS is my favorite Disney movies ever. I love it! I used to have things with Pocahontas on them. I even have her costume, I think i used that for my birthday or for halloween. I like her because she is a strong woman and I love the soundtrack from the movie. COLORS OF THE WIND! After hearing it a few times, I eventually memorized it and even sang it at my cousin's birthday party.

This is John Smith with Pocahontas. They fell in love with each other but when John Smith was about to leave Virginia, he asked Pocahontas to go with him to England but she refused because she said that her place is in Virginia, with her people. They said goodbye to each other with Pocahontas telling him that "I'll always be with you, forever".

COLORS OF THE WIND

You think you own whatever land you land on

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 only 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 learn things you never knew

You never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to blue corn moon?

Or ask 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

And 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 just 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
