John Denver - The Wings That Fly Us Home Lyrics
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the spirit album. it also appears on the country classics album.There are many ways of being in this circle we call lifeA wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the nightIs a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shineIs a heros blood more righteous than a hobos sip of wineDid I speak to you one morning on some distant world awayDid you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a graveWere we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to runWere we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sunI dreamed you were a prophet in a meadowI dreamed I was a mountain in the windI dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flowerI awoke with this: a flower in my handI know that love is seeing all the infinite in oneIn the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the sonThe vision of your goodness will sustain me through the coldTake my hand now to remember when you find yourself aloneAnd the spirit fills the darkness of the heavensIt fills the endless yearning of the soulIt lives within a star too far to dream ofIt lives within each part and is the wholeIts the fire and the wings that fly us homeFly us home, fly us homeWords by joe henry, music by john denver
