“Colors of the Wind”
Pocahontas
How it relates: In the song, Pocahontas invites John Smith into her world and challenges him to learn instead of relying on the understanding of others. The fear of facing a world that doesn’t understand you, a world that has shaped its opinions on stereotypes and assumptions, keeps a lot of people from coming out. “Colors of the Wind” brings a hope that even the most oblivious of people can learn tolerance.
Takeaway lyric:
“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”
