John Denver - The Eagle and The Hawk (1974, "The John Denver Show")

"The Eagle And The Hawk"
I am the eagle, I live in high country in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky.
I am the hawk, and there's blood on my feathers.
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry.
And all those who see me, and all who believe in me
share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops.
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars.
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
and all that we can be, and not what we are.

I love how his voice soars so easily and freely - makes me think of sunshine, chill winds and mountain peaks. Rest In Peace John - you were taken too soon.

You never hear other people covering this song... Because you don't mess with perfection.

John Denver: The man respected everything he saw.

[@stevethegreasemonkey]

I first started listening to John denver while recovering from a stroke. I think his music saved me from a very dark place

[@just_kos99]

I've been blessed with two dreams including John. One was him and me singing this together, and me flying and soaring and swooping over the landscape, lol. I so love flying in my dreams!

[@xavierbalzola863]

The things he stood for.....the things he represented and preached about are only now being understood ....this man was YEARS AHEAD of his time.....and his message and his work will endure....will there ever be another butterfly?....i think not....rest in peace John.....here in The Cambell Valley British Columbia ...you are a hero to all..🙏

[@autumngirl96]

I heard this song for the very 1st time while at a J.D concert, and I was in that moment of awe and I get that exact same emotion and feeling everytime I hear it even too this day! It's mindedness like that in our lives that never leave us. I'm so thankful I was able to be in that Era of time! "Make beautiful moments" that take your breath away, and hang on to them! Time goes by so quickly and unexpectedly. 🙏😇❤️‍🔥✨️💕🦋
