This should be an anthem for a people who have lost their way since 2001 (not politicians and institutions they've been long lost). Americans! Lose your fear, find your courage and humanity again.
20 years after Johns passing , his songs and lyrics STILL touch your Heart , Way ahead of his time , I remember in the 70's "Poems, Prayers, and Promises album" , playing his music and singing along at the Bonfires we used to have .... so many memories ... R.I.P John Denver
Then he said, "I tell all of you with certainty, unless you change and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven." ~ Jesus of Nazareth
"Here is a collection of - now and then. The songs are those most often requested in my concerts. The only exception is 'Rhymes and Reasons', which no one ever asks for, but I think it includes the best lyrics I've ever written." - John Denver on his Greatest Hits album, as written on the vinyl sleeve.
ever consider that this man was so far ahead of his time... Consider the lyrics in this song and apply it to todays events and lifestyle we have had to become accustomed to. The man virtually predicted the events of 911, the war in Afghanistan, and the end results and putting the trust of future generations in the hands of our then children...just a thought, but if you listen to the lyrics from about the 1:50 mark on.. you will hear it from his own voice..Thoughts..??
My lord I love this song. The children and the flowers are my sister and my brothers...I wish everyone in America would listen to this song. Our world as it stands is of deep concern..
We sometimes forget about the future in this day and age. This song is so awfully powerful without question.
