Relatively Speaking

John Denver · Triple Feature [2009]

Relatively speaking,

you make me who I am

I need you exactly like the ocean needs the land

I need you like sunshine needs the shadows and the night

I need you the way love needs the savage hurtful fight

Relatively sepaking

I'm nothing without you

You are where I've been before, you are where I'm going to

You are living out my dreams and you are all my fears

You evoke my laughter, you unleash every tear

The rich ones need the poor ones; the blind need those with sight

Sinners need the pure of heart; the black ones need the white

Relatively speaking

the contrast makes it so

Every action taken is related in the flow

Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand

Relatively speaking, you make me who I am



The sick ones need the well ones, the living need the dead

Heaven needs its hell you know, and love needs lonely beds

Relatively speaking, the contrast makes it go

Every action taken is related in the flow

Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand

Relatively speaking

you make me who I am

Who I am
