Purple Mountains Lyrics

There was a time not too long ago

When the earth grew wild and the rivers freely flowed

One by one the colors came

Known by their shade, not by their name

Some came by vessel from across the sea

Some flew from the air, others crawled on their knees

Some of them stolen, some lost their way

Others came from the earth, raised up from the clay

Every twenty times 'round the sun

Come the daughters, come the sons

To decide what they want

And shake those colors up

Green ground grow wild

Red feathers fly

White eyes look wide

Grey stone climb high

Blue waters flow

Brown hands take hold

Purple mountains shine

In the dark black sky

There's a new way to paint the page

So each face has a name

And a home, to call their own

Where every shape has a place

To feel whole, to feel safe

To share what they know

And let their colors show

Green ground grow wild

Red feathers fly

White eyes look wide

Grey stone climb high

Blue waters flow

Brown hands take hold

Purple mountains shine

In the open sky

Green ground grow wild (Green ground grow wild)

Red feathers fly (Red feathers fly)

White eyes look wide (White eyes look wide)

Grey stone climb high

Blue waters flow (Blue waters flow)

Brown hands take hold (Brown hands take hold)

Purple mountains shine (Purple mountains shine)

In the open sky

Purple mountains shine

In the open sky
