The Man Who Spoke to Many

I know many of you may not who John Denver is but I thought my last three blogs could give a little insight about the man who fought so hard to try to bring peace and freedom to so many people around the world. He touched the lives of millions with the words of his songs. He did not believe in torture or the pain caused by another’s hand. He spoke of unjust events done to people. He visited places that no one thought of or seemed to care about and tried to help the people who lived there. His song It’s About Time is about trying to bring peace during war time and trying to bring the two sides together to make a change so the people of the world can get back to living. The song is about the pain he feels when he looks at the world and sees so many people suffering and no one looking twice or offering a helping hand. This would even pull at the coldest heart and make it look to make a change, even the smallest one will help to stop the pain and agony of a few. This is the point he is trying to make. Make small changes to help those of tomorrow so mankind won’t die out because “we are all in this together.”

It’s About Time
(Denver/Hardin)

There's a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again.
Who's to say you have to lose for someone else to win?
In the eyes of all the people, the look is much the same,
for the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game.
It's about time we realize it, we're all in this together.
It's about time we find out, it's all of us or none.
It's about time we recognize it, these changes in the weather.
It's about time, it's about changes, and it's about time.

There's a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see
and a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me.
I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land,
with his lips upon our mother's breast, he makes his strongest stand.
It's about time we start to see it, the earth is our only home.
It's about time we start to face it, we can't make it here all alone.
It's about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind,
it's about time and it's about changes and it's about time.

There's a man who is my brother, I just don't know his name.
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same.
And it hurts me when he's hungry and when his children cry.
I too am a father, and that little one is mine.
It's about time we begin it, to turn the world around.
It's about time we start to make it, the dream we've always known.
It's about time we start to live it, the family of man.
It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time.
It's about peace and it's about plenty and it's about time,
It's about you and me together and it's about time.
