Discover the story of the song > Colors Of The Wind – From “Pocahontas” – Tori Kelly

The protagonist is singing about how some people think they can own everything, even the land. She thinks everything has a spirit and a name, like rocks and trees. She thinks it's important to learn from people who are different from you, and to appreciate nature. She asks if you've ever heard a wolf cry or asked a bobcat why it's grinning, and if you can sing and paint with all the colors of the wind. She thinks it's important to respect nature and appreciate diversity, and that owning things doesn't matter as much as learning from and enjoying the world around you.
