LIKE A FAMILY

                   by Emily M. Parris
                      Dedicated to John Denver

A legacy of beauty
 Is here in the songs he sings
His songs are always filled with love
 Inspiration is what he brings

John Denver inspires devotion
 His fans are loyal and true
Patiently waiting for him
 To sing us a song that's new

We live on every continent
 We come from so many places
Our common denominator
 Is the love here on our faces

For there in a song by John
 We see love shining through
We share a hopeful vision
 We feel the love anew

Like a family; united
 He brings us together to share
The values in his lyrics
 The love that is always there

Together with him we're sharing
 When we sing a Denver song
He brings us to a peaceful place
 A place where we belong
