What one man can do

Yesterday I was led to listen to an old John Denver album and there have been a couple of posts about him. I wrote in a response to someone that I thought John Denver had three songs with lyrics that bring me to a stand still and make me take stock of life every time I hear those songs.

Below are lyrics for one of those songs: What One Man Can Do. I think the song was written as a tribute to Buckminster Fuller. You can substitute whoever you want in place of Bucky. For me, I have substituted my mother, a truly amazing person who left us 22 years ago. When I hear this song, I miss my Mom, but at the same time I know she is still with me in spirit.

The question this time is before the lyrics: Who would you have this song written to and why?


I suppose that there are those
Wholl say he had it easy
Had it made in fact
Before hed even begun
But they dont know the things I know
I was always with him
It may sound strange
We were more than friends

Its hard to tell the truth
When no one wants to listen
When no one really cares
Whats going on
And its hard to stand alone
When you need someone beside you
Your spirit and your faith
They must be strong
What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

As shaded as his eyes might be
Thats how bright his mind is
Thats how strong his love
For you and me
A friend to all the universe
Grandfather of the future
And everything I would like to be

What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do

Words and music by John Denver

I think we both can use this song. If you get a chance, listen to a copy of it, haunting and beautiful.
