The Colours Of The Wind (Hi Hat 5198 ) Deborah Parnell

OPENER

Sides face grand square
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 (Circle left)
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Allemande left and swing and promenade
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)

Heads pass the ocean (extend)
Spin chain thru, girls circulate two times
Boys run to the right
You bend the line and a right and left thru right there
Slide thru, square thru go three quarters around
Swing your corner and you'll promenade
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face grand square
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 knew (Circle left)
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Allemande left and swing and promenade
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?

ENDING

Sides face grand square
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connect to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Allemande left and swing and promenade
Have you ever heard 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 colours of the wind

ALTERATIVE FIGURE (PLUS)

Head ladies centre Tee Cup ChainSides face grand square
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
Sides square thru four
Swing your corner and you'll promenade
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
