Children of Many Colors

Music and Lyrics by Steve James
Native American Chant by Steve James and Mitch Hall,
© 1999, B.M.I.
Performed by Lisa and Steve James

(Verse 1)
From the ocean
Cross the desert
To the mountain high
Live our people
Hear our voices rising to the sky

(Chorus)
We are the children of many colors
And ever since our birth
We've been sisters
We've been brothers
And we live on mother earth

(Verse 2)
Sun of daylight
Moon of midnight
Guard our mother's land
We together must protect her
Every grain of sand

(Repeat Chorus)

(Chant)
We move in the rhythm of the circle of life
And listen to earth's song
We dance to nature's heartbeat
And keep our mother strong

(Bridge)
We all share the water we drink
The food we eat
The air we breathe
We all share the sky above
The river below
The land we love

(Chorus Repeats)
