But they are meant to imply a Native American way of looking at the world - a pre-conscious and unconscious affinity with nature and the world around us, both tangible and intangible, that tends to be lost by more "civilized," "adult" cultures. In a way, that's the exact point of the song and the phrase, which is a metaphor (as is its preceding phrase, "sing with all the voices of the mountain".) Both those phrases describe actions that are impossible on the surface. Īnswer from Stephen Schwartz: It's interesting to me that you think you understood what "paint with all the colors of the wind" meant when you were a child, but now, with an adult logic, you're not sure you get it any longer. Could you please explain it to me as I'm sure to lose sleep over this - I have many theories. What exactly does "paint with all the colors of the wind" mean? I think when I was a child I understood what it meant, but I've either forgotten or never really knew what it meant at all. But something's been bugging me all day that I have never really thought about until now. I appreciate the many messages in each of the songs. Schwartz: I have always loved the music in Pocahontas and find the lyrics to all the songs to be beautiful and meaningful.
