Healing Time
John Denver · Other Songs - John Denver
There's a wisdom here, there is much to learn
There's much to know, much to understand
In this healing time all across the land
You have heard my songs, oh so many years
You have left with me, washed away my tears
You have shared my joy, you have felt my pain
In this healing time, walk with me again
Through these darker days on this narrow line
Help me find my way, help me see the signs
I am not afraid, I am not alone
You have taught me well, you have brought me home
Let the mountain speak, let the rivers run
As the world awakes to the rising sun
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time on our mother earth
Let the mountains talk, let the rivers run
There is wisdom here, there's so much to learn
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time for our mother earth
In each brand new day, in our own rebirth
In this healing time, here on mother earth
