The Pocahontas Christmas Song
by Flora
Based on "Colors of the Wind" from Disney's Pocahontas
Original Lyrics Copyright 1997 Stephen Schwartz
Pocahontas
You think I'm an ignorant savage,
And no, I'm not a Christian,
I guess it must be so
But I do know gifts of love
And blessings from above
The time of peace that enters with the snow
With the snow...
You think because I do not have "December"
Or a "Christmas" or pray to God on high
I do not not know the great gifts that he gave you
Gifts of hope, and of spirit, that never die
You think because I know not of the Christ-child
We cannot join in peace and harmony
But we can all trust that in our one Creator
We are truly one big loving family
Have you ever seen the night sky filled with silver stars?
And watched the golden moon-boat sail across?
Can you sing with all the voices of the night wind?
Can you paint the lacy patterns of the frost?
Can you paint the lacy patterns of the frost?
Come race through frozen air that filled with diamonds
Come marvel at our jewels from Mother Earth
Come see the rich red rubies of the holly,
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The night wind and the snowflake are my brothers
And the card'nal and the reindeer are my friends
We have so little time to spend together
Before Spring comes and our winter season ends
How hight can a Christmas tree grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know!
And you'll never see the night sky filled with silver stars
But not only they alone can warm the nights
We need to sing with all the voices of the night wind
Need to paint the pastel shades of northern lights
You can roam the Earth but still
You won't find true peace until
Your heart shines and fills you full with love most bright.
