Discover the story of the song > Colors of the Wind – Vanessa Williams

The song talks about the importance of respecting nature and all its living creatures, and how everyone is connected to each other. The protagonist encourages her friends to learn from those who are different from them and to appreciate the beauty of the earth. She asks if they can hear the wolf's cry, talk to the eagle, sing with the mountain's voices, and paint with all the colors of the wind. She reminds them that cutting down a tree without knowing how high it grows doesn't do any good, and that regardless of our skin color, we all need to appreciate and respect nature.
