COLOURS OF THE WIND
COLOURS OF THE WIND
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 sunsweet 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

heyyy! dammit... i dun feel like doing my lang arts poem exercise..... but it's due tmrrrrrrr! sheesh! i dunno how to do question one and i suck at poems tooo. i dunno wad's the mood/theme or wadeva. lang arts suck. it's DUMB. wad's da use of reading poems and analysing them... oooh... the speaker is feeling annoyed by homework. oh! the poet is feeling dejected and left out. i dun care how they feel at that time writing the poem, but i dun wan lang arts!!! i dun understand a single thing... history too. gahhhh... i tot history was about learning about stories of the past. NOT answer questions and coroborate them when they hv oredi been proven to be real... that's stoopid. why must we learn to do that? it's not like we are gonna grow up to be historians someday. ohkay... these are two subjects i really hate... i hate them... gahhhh

heyo!!! ;D hahaa... okay... today in library, the twins had to take pictures of ppl doing stuff in the library. they wanted to take me scanning the books and i ran away... oh well... and they kept trying to do that. ;D and i think they finally captured one or two. bah. ;| so the whole time, i was trying to avoid them. oh well, it was funnnnn! at least i know the twins are crazy, wacky ppl like me. muahahaha... okay... ;D byeeeeee!
i have a story on big fun in the sun. haha. made it up during chinese class. ;D leanne passed me a piece of paper with a drawing and 'surf city' on it. so i just pasted it down on another piece of paper and made up a shit story;D will put the pic up later but for now, i'll just type it. ;D
ohkay... that was a DUMB story. the capitalized words are the titles of the songs that can be found in BIG FUN IN THE SUN. ;D oh!oh! and the twins have a younger sister. she's 8 years old and her name's Natasha. okay... byeee!

sigh. i dunno whether to stay on in baptism class or go to youth class... oh well... i still hv one week to decide... :|
i went to east coast park 2day and after dinner, i saw this stupid guy. he tried jumping across the 'pond' [not so wide] outside the restaurant and one of his leg did not land on the ground. so he KILLED A FISH by stepping on it. the small fish's body was torn into two... D; ass him. like that wasn't enuf. he and his son then started throwing stones into the 'pond'. what's their problem... his son threw a stone and it landed on a black fish. another FISH KILLED. our world needs less of these assholes who dun gv a damn about other animals. so what if they are fish. they also hv a life. how'd they like it if someone started stoning them or jumped onto them and their bodies get split into two? they are just asshole idiots luh.
IGNORE ALL THE OTHER POSTS ABOUT HOW I DON'T LIKE THE CORNET
