John Denver Lyrics for Song: Spirit
 Lyrics for Album: Portrait [1999]
 
 
 
 21104>His spirit joined, and so was born
 
 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
 
 An empty space to fill
 
 
 
 (Chorus)
 
 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
 
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 
 His spirit joined, and so was born
 
 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
 
 An empty space to fill
 
 21104>
