The second time the chorus is sung in the single version, the second line becomes "Or let the eagle tell you where he's been" from the original "Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned," likely because the latter phrase refers to imagery in the movie of a fictitious constellation which resembles a bobcat.
The third line tells of singing with the voices of the mountains, as the fourth line concludes with the title imagery of painting with the colors 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? 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 does 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.
You come from a land full of wonders And you say what we have here You improved on long ago You'll teach us how to live But what lessons will you give? When it seems there is so much that you don't know You don't know 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 Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or let the eagle tell you where he's been?

Schwartz disliked the phrase "green corn moon" due to the sound of the word "green" and because he felt it might evoke the urban legend that the Moon is made of green cheese. Instead, Schwartz used the phrase "blue corn moon" as it reminded him of both blue moons and blue corn tortillas. Schwartz thought that the phrase might evoke the Indigenous peoples of the Southeastern Woodlands rather than the Algonquin people depicted in Pocahontas , but was satisfied with it anyway.
