Spirit - John Denver

His spirit joined and so was formed

Ten thousand years ago

Between the swan and Hercules

Where even dark clouds glow

To live with grace, to ride the swell

To yet be strong of will

To love the wind, to learn it’s song

And empty space to fill

Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And vega lights my way

Smoke rings in a galaxy

An endless flight through time

Lyra gave her harp to him

And left him free to climb

A winter’s journey from the moon

To reach the summer sun

To rise again, to sing for you

A song that’s yet unsung

Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And vega lights my way

His spirit joined and so was formed

Ten thousand years ago

Between the swan and Hercules

Where even dark clouds glow

To live with grace, to ride the swell

To yet be strong of will

To love the wind, to learn her song

And empty space to fill
