My favorite line is: "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."

One of the best songs disney has ever created ever

As a Native American who was constantly being bullied, and the fact that I have several friends of all different races and ethnicities, makes this song our cope to block out all the racist kids in my school.

My absolute favorite part of this whole movie is when she sings "You can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth, until you can paint with all the colors of the wind"

This song has so much more meaning to me now that I’m older. As a kid, I never knew there was such a huge problem this song was addressing. Currently crying from this beautiful piece.

My favorite part is when she says “But I know every rock and tree and creature, Has a life, has a spirit, Has a name.”

This is really relevant to everything going on right now in the world. This is a woman we can learn from.

The sad part is, only a few human souls will ever understand this truly. But every plant, creature, and beast do without a doubt.

For those who think Pocahontas basically 'putting the white man in his place', I can tell you that she's doing something greater than that. She's (metaphorically) taking his hand and walking him through her world in order to show him a new perspective to the world without judgement. I can't tell you how many people I've come across with their (metaphorical) fists up in order to protect their views. As an aspiring school teacher, I've been working hard to prove to others that the most durable philosophical ideas stand strong on their own, and that teaching an individual requires a willful listener. And a willful listener is one who has experienced a caring embrace, instead of antagonism. From there, the two can "paint with the colors of the wind".

This is one of Disney's most meaningful and beautiful songs. I love the message, I respect both nature and people.

" For whether we are white or copper skinned..." I love that. just wow!

This is a timeless record. Here in 2020. I’m a male I will sing this to my children.

Now that I'm older I finally understand her meaning of her words and how deep they actually are. As a child I thought it was such a beautiful song, now I realize it's very bittersweet. I cried I a lot reading the lyrics. I couldn't even bring myself to sing them

I can't even begin to tell you how underrated Pocahontas really is it makes me sad I fucking love this movie

Hi it's 2020 and I think people should honestly listen to this song right now the date here is Monday June 1st, 2020. My sister thinks this song is not going to help anyone right now. I think otherwise. We are all the same. We are humans. In the end there is nothing different about us. Our color or race doesn't matter. We need to love each other an help each other. We need to be FRIENDS NOT ENEMIES. We are not better than one another we are the same. So why fight. We need answers.

I love how this song addresses so many problems. It’s not just about race and ethnicity but also how we interact with nature and how we affect climate change and how we abuse it. It talks about claiming something or someone as ur own, when that is now the case and how it’s more beautiful being set free. It talks about how we need more empathy for others and how we are selfish. It talks about how disconnected we are from animals and how we should learn to treat them like family instead of just destroying their homes and locking them in zoos. It’s got so much packed into such an underrated and amazing song

"How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know." Why did that resonate with me so much oh my god

"You think the only people who are people, are people who look and think like you." So sad and so true, this is exactly what first settlers thought of Native Americans. That we were less than human and even less than dogs. We were only considered "people" to them when we followed their ideaology and lifestyle.

Feels really appropriate for 2020.

"How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down you'll never know" Yeesh, that one hit hard.

"If u walked the foot steps of a stranger you'll learn things u never knew u never knew" Why i love sociology/anthropology

Most powerful, meaningful disney song, second to circle of life.

"You can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth until..." That one line is so impactful and still relevant to this day.

I prefer this version over the French translation (I'm French). This one is deeper, while the French one is more "poetic". But the French one has one verse that I think is a bit better. "You think people who are people, are the people who look and think like you, but if you walk in the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew." turned into something roughly translated as: "You think foreigners deserve the title of 'people' only if they look like and think like you. But when you walk in their footsteps, you're questioning yourself. Are you sure, deep inside, to be right?"

"you think you own whatever land you land on "☕ this tea is strong🐸

I got a puppy the week Pocahontas made its premiere, which I attended. My puppy was bronze, feminine and beautiful--as was Pocahontas, so I named her Pocahontas--Pokey for short. Pokey crossed Rainbow Bridge 15 years later, but this song reminds me of her and hearing it makes me happy and sad at the same time. But it's likely only a dog lover or animal lover would understand that.

This is the best Disney princess song hands down. She understands herself and how she’s perceived. Painting with all the colors of the wind, means trying to understand others, because you can learn something you never knew you never knew. You don’t have to travel to do this either. Talk to someone you work with, a classmate, a neighbor. You don’t have to agree with them on everything but there is something you can connect with everyone. This song is not saying do what I say, this song is asking to see where you come from. It’s probably the best song I’ve ever heard about empathy.

“You think the only people who are people, are people who look just like you.” This is so relevant to what’s going on now in the world

"You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth until..."

wtf why is frozen more popular than this movie?! seriously! this one fucking song has a stronger and meaningful moral than frozen's whole fucking story dammit

"You think you own whatever land you land on. The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim."

"and we are all connected to eachother, in a circle in a hoop that never ends" this line stands out to me because it has true meaning.

This is beautifully the best Disney song. my favorite lyrics are "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" so beautiful and true

Wow, this song gave me goosebumps. This is probably the most meaningful Disney song yet.

The second chorus gets me ever time when she says “and you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon” and when the beat drops it just makes me cry

Dear 2020, dear Earth, humanity is finally starting to stand fiercely for this truth : « For whether we are white or copper skinned, We can sing with all the voices of the mountains… We need to paint WITH ALL THE COLORS of the wind. »

I bet you Bob Ross sure did know how to paint with all the colours of the wind. Those almighty happy little colours of the wind.

1. click on song 2. clean out your ears 3. listen 4. REALIZE 5. hit replay button

I wish the earth was still like in the movie. We really messed it up

“You can own the earth and still all you’ll own is earth until you can paint with all the colours of the wind.” This song is literally so beautiful and I appreciate it so much more now that I’m older. I may or may not have cried just now listening to it😭

*"And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon."* That line hits home real hard as young adult.

As a kid this was just a random song, now I get the message. "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"

As a kid, I didn't fully realize how beautiful this song is!

Everyone needs to hear this song. It has such an important message and is so beautifully orchestrated

Of all the Disney songs, I think this one has the greatest message

“come roll in all the riches all around you , and for once never wonder what they’re worth”

My favorite line is: “You can own the Earth and still, all you’ll own is earth until, you can paint with all the colors of the wind”

The words in this song are so powerful. “You think the only people who are people are the ones who look and think like you but if you Walk through the footsteps of a stranger you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.” Everyone needs to learn to be a free spirit and love fellow humans and creatures. Greed will kill mankind. 🌎

2.5 thousand people couldn't paint with all the colours of the wind

Gosh I love this song so much. Such a powerful message too.

People need to listen to this song - actually listen - and take note of its message. Maybe then the world could be a better place

Not even close to Disney’s best movie, but this might be their all time greatest song.

This song speaks the truth about what people need to do today.

My great great great grandma and grandpa traveled on the Trail of Tears. I don't look like it, but I'm mainly Cherokee. I'm proud of my roots. 💜

I was 13? 14? I had gotten into an argument with someone I was staying with and I didn't own shoes, so I bandaged my feet and hands (wrap bandages), grabbed my backpack and ran out of the apartment. I listened to this and ran for miles. At the end of the day I managed to reach some hills. The moss on the pine forest floor, I looked out over the hill and watched the sunset. It was kinda windy, and I had goosebumps like none before.

My daughter left earth yesterday and went to heaven , she was 29 years old,GOD wanted another angel and I'm going to play this at her funeral for her, she liked Pocahontas🙂.i love you my little one forever.

Another song that'll be forever in my heart💗🍃

You can learn a lot from Pocahontas. I wish some people these days would think the way this song makes you think

My friends: Disney's songs are too childish Me: Can you paint with all the colors of the winnnnnnnnd♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪

my choir teacher told me to find a song with a color in it (because we have online classes). I think “blue corn moon” works. And I think white is a shade but we still got blue and copper-

When the heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon part comes and you hear the actual howl, it gives you shivers.

I have always loved this song so much because it's sending a strong message to modern society.

Read this if you have ever felt alone, depressed, suicidal, lost, scared, worthless, abandoned, or anything of that nature, this is for you You Are Beautiful. You Are Wanted. You Are Wonderful. Don't quit on yourself. Don't hurt yourself. You are worth the world and nobody want to see you suffering. This is not the end. The way you feel right now will pass. People's minds will change. Things WILL get better. We love you and are always here for you. Do NOT do something permanent over something temporary. You're better than that. All stars need to see darkness before the light. And always remember, Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself & the right people will find and love the real you. Your own unique Mindset always try to engage in the right ways Now read the first letter of every word You Matter! no matter what other people may say. Always know this is true. It helps. You are worth my time to write this. I do care.

Possibly Disney’s greatest song! It’s literally almost impossible to not well up listening to it. So Epic and Beautiful!! This and Circle of Life are Disney’s two most epic and emotional songs

Like if you think the Pocahontas and Mulan soundtracks are the best! :)

im goosebumping soooo bad is it just me?

"You think the only people who are people; are people who look and think like you...." my favorite and most relatable line to the people who have had the unpleasurable honor of knowing someone like this. 💖💕

This hits hard. As a child I never realized what this truly meant but now I do and I think we all need this. The sad thing is how accurate this is. No one these days ever appreciates the earth or what it gives us. It also talks about how people won’t listen to each other unless they look and act like each other. The only way we can truly be free is if we all take care of each other and the earth. “And we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends”

Pocahontas used the word "savage" before this generation.. think about it..

when Disney songs had meaning

I have a friend who didn't respect the earth or nature and I listened to this song to help me inspire him. It's so amazing and sad people don't have the same respect for our home they did ten years ago. Thank you, Pocahontas.

I'm mexican and I love the latin version of this song, but the original meaning... makes me feel so excited, it's a beautiful song with an amazing message

I actually know a Cherokee...and I still call her Chief and I also greet her with oshio which is the formal Cherokee word for hello..... that's how much respect I have for native Americans...remember they were here first.....we are living on their land

This movie got me because i'm Native American #OdawaTribe

You 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 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 mountains 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 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 You can own the Earth and still All you'll own is Earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind

This song will always be relevant. Each phrase speaks volumes about us and our world. This will always be the most beautiful song for me.

this brings me to tears now that I'm older and can truly comprehend what she's saying. this song is so powerful!

I sometimes just watch Pocahontes to listen to this song lol, this is such a good song!

we really are all connected to each other. every animal, plant, human, and every live being. we're all connected and I feel like people forget this or don't even know it. in this day and age, we have social media that was made to connect us but people feel more disconnected than ever

I cannot put into words the impact this movie had on me as a child. For the first time ever, the princess and the “prince” did not end up together and I? It was not sad exactly, and it confused me to say the least (I was maybe 8) and I was just sat there astounded by everything the movie tried to convey. I think this was my first real “deep in thought” moment lol

its crazy how accurate this can still be applied today in modern life.

Time for a Disney song marathon!

As much as Pocahauntus Disney is not historically accurate. It has some of the most beautiful and deepest meanings. The combination of this song, just around the river bend, and savages really are still so meaningful for just being from a childrens show

The world needs to listen to this masterpiece

Literally snatching the British Colonists weaves off their heads, like sis really coming for them edit: y’all i wrote this in 6th grade i promise i don’t act like this still 😭

Starts painting a picture Pochahontas : can you paint with all the colours of the wind? Me: uhhhhhh I was actually-- Pochahontas: *more aggressively* CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLOURS OF THE WIND?.... me: O___O.....okay! Okay!

This song changed my life. I started truly appreciating everything and everyone on this Earth. I started truly appreciating nature and all the living things on this planet. I can't even step on an ant anymore. I appreciate all living things.

As a Native American girl, I don’t like the movie Pocahontas-it romanticized and ignored a lot of very painful history that still effects natives for the sake of entertaining children and didn’t aid the misinformation still widely spread about the experiences of natives. But I can still appreciate that this is a beautiful song with a good meaning behind it Still, if u love this movie it would be good to learn about the real story and some of the harms this perpetuates

"You can own the Earth and still, all you'll own is earth until." Seriously I wish sometimes that I wasn't born just so that I wouldn't have had to long for what was lost. As a British person I sometimes hate my country sometimes, because of what we did in the past and what we are not doing to change now. I hope by the time I have children that I can bring them into a world that I am proud to call my home, but I don't know if that will be possible. It's an awfully sobering thought.

If Pocahontas was a high school girl right now she would totally be leader of the recycling committee and the volunteer for like 20 animal shelters.😝

"The rainstorm and the river are my brothers. The heron and the otter are my friends. And we are all connected to eachother In a circle, in a hoop that never ends 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 We 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."

Arguably the best Disney song ever created. This one always brings goosebumps.

I've listened to this song all my life and i still get goose bumps every time i hear. My all time favorite Disney movie and Disney song! When i was little, and went to day care, my teachers would always put this movie on and everyone HATED it except me. All the kids were like, "UGH... I want another movie!!" and i just sat there, think, "how could this kid not like this?! This is genius." Gosh i love the movie. I think it's absolutely beautiful. I cry, and laugh. It's just wonderful. The music is beautiful, and even though it's a cartoon the scenes are beautiful. The waterfall, the nature in the forest, etc. I'm strongly agents discrimination and racism and things like that. I hate it when people make fun of other people based on who they love, their religion, their race, etc. This movie is not only beautiful by it's songs and scenes, it's also beautiful by it's meaning/lesson. :)

I sang this song in my history class in junior year with my friend and he gave us a dollar to stop ALSO! Since I was an agriculture major and had no desire to pay for expensive college tuition, I told my friend that I'd just live in the woods by Cobleskill dressed up as Pocahontas and sing "Colours of the Wind" every morning before class.

Does anyone else listen to this when they feel out if place or lost? No just me ok. But seriously I do. It is one of my favorite songs

This song has such a deep and powerful meaning to it: We need to learn to be tolerant and respectful of those who are different from ourselves as well as to be considerate and caring about the natural environment around us.

Me- I will not replay this. It makes me cry. The next second Me- replay

How many people actually stop to watch a flower grow? Or look at the sunset cast its beauty on the mountains? Sure, jobs are important. Life is important, but we often forget what is around us. Our focus is on people, not the world we live in. Trees, birds clouds mountains... they all fade away, and we forget to live. Keep your candles on

Wow listening to this song now hits a lot differently than it did when we were younger

"But still i cannot see if the savage one is me How can there be so much that you dont know?"👊✨
