Filter What You Say, a pocahontas fanfic

Colors of the Wind Parody- Filter What You Say

You think I'm an ignorant child

And you have lived so long I guess it must be true

But still I cannot see if the child one is me

How can there be so much you cannot see?

That you can't see

You think you own whatever land you land on

You can speak what you think is true

But I know every word has a purpose

It can hurt, it can help, or it can maim

You think the only words that can hurt you

Are the words that speak true

But I know every word can hurt

Even if they were things that weren't true

Have you ever let the words tear you down

Or let them cloud who you are?

Can you see through the false truths all around you?

Can you brush them off before they fall?

Come run through words you didn't mean

Or times you wish you could forget

Let the words roll over your tongue

And for once wonder how they could hurt

My pencil and my paper are my brothers

My words and thoughts my friends

And we are all connected to each other

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How happy can you make someone feel?

If you never try, you will never know

And you'll never see the grin on someone's face

When they realize what you say is true

We need to speak with as much sincerity as we can

And we need to recognize the false truths

You can say what you wanna say and all you have is words until

You can spot the false truths all around you

And you can filter what you say
