Colors of the Wind


Colors of the Wind adalah salah satu lagu yang text nya aku suka (dengan mengabaikan unsur animisme nya). Menggambarkan begitu banyak keindahan yang akan kita dapatkan bila kita berinteraksi dengan hormat, harmonis dan menikmati setiap anugrah yang Tuhan berikan melalui alam. Menikmati keberagaman budaya, manusia, bentang alam dan lain-lain yang membuat dunia berwarna-warni dan indah.

Perasaan yang disyairkan lewat lagu Colors of the wind mungkin bisa jadi akan mewakili perasaan para  traveller saat mereka menyadari betapa sempitnya dunia yang mereka kenal; betapa kecilnya apa yang mereka tahu tentang bumi yang mereka kenal; betapa kayanya keberagaman alam dan budaya yang mereka temukan; dan betapa banyak rasa yang bisa mereka resapi dan kecap dalam-dalam lewat seluruh indra mereka. Perasaan tersebut yang membuat mata dan hati seorang traveller terbuka menerima berbagai perbedaan dan toleran menerimanya dengan atau tanpa turut larut di dalamnya.

Pada postingan kali ini, aku ingin menuliskan text lagu Colors of the Wind beserta beberapa foto pelangi yang sempat kutangkap dengan kameraku.

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 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 teh 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
