| "The Wings That Fly Us Home" Music By John Denver Lyrics by Joe Henry |
| Sequenced By L. A. Russell (Used With Permission) |
| Listen Without Fear �Got it now?� John�s last words were spoken, Heard on that fateful day Some won�t �get it� because of the fear� They�re afraid of the things you say |
 |
| They�re afraid of the truth that you speak of, Afraid of the lies in their hearts, To face the reality in the mirror and know The fate that lies in the cards Do their eyes not see the destruction, The danger our planet is in, The loss of the animal and plant life each day? The ruin we see is a sin Are they afraid of the sounds that they�ll hear� The cries of the hungry, the poor, The children, the homeless, the old and the sick Who stand in the cold at our door? Some may listen with their ears tightly shut Their hearts are hidden from view, The terror is of their own making, you see, By not hearing the message from you Thank heaven there are those who will notice The gently soft whispering breeze, The sun reflecting on a crystal blue lake And the shimmering, bright golden leaves You�re there in the snow-capped mountains For the souls that are opened to hear They look to the skies and below to the stones On the narrow path without a fear They hear your clear voice tell the story Like the song birds that call in the morn They �got it now,� my dear, loving John� The spirit of truth is reborn! |
