Think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life,has a spirit,has a name
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 learn things you never knew
You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices
Of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pinet rails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
And the heron and the other are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices
Of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down,then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with all the colors of the wind

1996年CoCo加入新力音乐，6月发行的首张国语专辑“往日情”为年度销售最佳专辑之一。同年11月底发行的英文专辑“CoCo´s Party”，为年底的圣诞节唱片市场掀起一个热滚滚的CoCo´s Party。CoCo的歌唱实力，不只在台湾受人注目，连在美国一手捧红玛丽亚凯莉的製作人Walter Afanasieff都讚许有加。在李玟的“It´s A Party”专辑中，Walter A.为她亲自製作，还写了一首新歌，就是“It´s A Party”。原本大家都认为邀请Walter A.为CoCo製作歌曲是不可能的任务，没想到Sonny Music总裁Mottola在听过CoCo所唱过的歌之后敬为天人，认为她是相当出色的歌者，不管是音域、音色、甚至是英文歌曲的腔调丰美道地，因而认定CoCo是亚洲系统中最值得栽培和最重要的艺人；因而亲自出面邀请Walter A.，而Walter A.则用了半年的时间反覆聆听CoCo所有的专辑唱片，找出她的特色，再花了三个礼拜写出“It´s A Party”，由此CoCo跨出最受瞩目的国际性第一步。
