1.The Flower That Shattered the Stone
Lyrics：Joe Henry／John Jarvis
Music：Joe Henry／John Jarvis
The earth is our mother Just turning around
With her trees in the forest And roots underground
Our father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow Without any end
As the river runs freely (CHORUS)
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom Beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty We're all joined in one
I reach out before me And look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper
Did something pass by
(CHORUS)
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
2.Thanks To You
Written：John L.Christopher／John Denver／Conrad Reeder／Sam
Not so long ago, I packed my bags a hundred times
Didn't seem to know how to stop or to unwind
Goin' nowhere, a man without a dream
Guess my luck star feel the day you came along
To my lonely heart you are like a special song
Singing sweetly your tender melody
Chorus：Thanks to you
The child inside me lives again
Thanks to you
I have found a peace within
I know where I'm goin' and what I want to do
Thanks to you
Lying in your arms I found my greatest pleasure
I look into your eyes and dream about forever
Wakin' up with you and lookin' forward to the day
What we plan to do, knowin' anything at all's okay
A life has a meaning
Love has got a name
Chorus：

3.Wish You Were Here ... Postcard From Paris
Lyrics：Jimmy Webb
Music：Jimmy Webb
Dear friend of mine, the weather's fine
Today I saw some ruins of the Roman world's decline
And I climbed all those Spanish steps, you've heard of them no
doubt
But Rome has lost its glory, I don't know what it's about
I wish you were here
(when the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic stills)
I wish you were here
(And the bells are ringing on the seven hills)
I make my way to a small cafe
I wonder what you did today
Wish you were here
Dear one at home, I just flew in from Rome
And Paris is a Postcard all decked out in color chrome
And so I climbed the Eiffel Tower and prayed at Notre Dame
But I just can't find the romance and I wonder why I came
I wish you were here
(On the Champs Elysees, lovers walking hand in hand)
I wish you were here
(They take one look at me and seem to understand)
This city of light is a lovely sight
The first bright star I see tonight
Wish you were here
Now I write this from the plane
Drinking cheap champagne
Wonderin' why two people got so far apart
I wish you were here
(Here in London where the rain is pouring down)
I wish you were here
(On this airplane headed back to New York town)
I'll never leave you alone again
I'm coming home, but until then
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
4.High, Wide and Handsome
Lyrics：Chuck Pyle
Music：Chuck Pyle
High, Wide and Handsome
Down from the great white north
More than enough and then some
Swept her up on his horse
Thumbleweeds were meant to
Get stuck up on a fence
Heaven must have sent you
You've got no wire to roll against
Chorus：
Keep her steady cowgirl
Don't let go of the reins
You are ready now girl
Never mind the growin' pains
Worlds out there are waiting
Big and wild as the sky
No more hesitating
It's now or never, do or die
Chorus：
As hard as you imagined
It being without me
We'll both be wishing it were that easy
Don't give me a pull, give me some room
When this round is through,
I'll be comin' back home
Wide open spaces
Between these two prairie hearts
Wonderin' where their place is
In a world so far apart
Chorus：
5.Eagles And Horses
Lyrics：John Denver／Joe Henry
Music：John Denver／Joe Henry
Horses are creatures who worship the earth
As they gallop on feet of ivory
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
The horses still run, they are free
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its rider back home
Like an old friend that's tried and been true
Chorus：
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
They know neither limit nor bound
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
They see all and hear every sound
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flying thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
(Chorus)
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its master back home
Like an old friend that's tried and been true
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flying thing
Like an eagle that need neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
(Chorus)
6.A Little Further North
Lyrics：Graeme Conners
Music：Graeme Conners
The sun sinks behind me in the west
This is the time of day I love best
Salt Breezes murmur through the coconut palm
As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm
Seagulls headed back to land
Over the mangrove and the salt pan
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin' line
Win back some memories and losin' track of time
I head a little further north each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year
Feeling the night wrap around me
Eases my mind's serenity
Ocean waves are hummin' on the outer reef
These balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief
Chorus：
I head a little further north each year
Taking my mind to an easier time
Up where there's silence and the night sky is clear
I head a little further north each year
(Repeat)
7.Raven's Child
Lyrics：John Denver／Joe Henry
Music：John Denver／Joe Henry
Raven's child is chasing salvation
Black beak turned white from the crack and the snow
On the streets of despair the answer is simple
A spoonful of mercy can set free the soul
The drug king sits on his arrogant throne
Away and above and apart
Even children are twisted to serve him
And greed has corrupted what once was a heart
Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom
Trades for the arms that once made her strong
With nuclear warheads and lasers in heaven
Fear does the choosing between right and wrong
The arms king sits on his arrogant throne
Away and above and apart
Bankers assure him that he needn't care
And greed makes a stone of what once was a heart
Raven's child is washing the water
All of her wing-feathers blackened with tar
Prince William shoreline's an unwanted highway
Of asphalt and anger an elegant scar
The oil king sits on his arrogant throne
Away and above and apart
Lawyers have warned him he mustn't speak
And greed has made silent what once was a heart
You know there are walls that come tumbling down
For people who yearn to be free
Still there are hearts that long to be opened
And eyes that are longing to see
Raven's child is our constant companion
Sticks like a shadow to all that is done
Try as we may we just can't escape him
The source of our sorrow and shame
We are one
The true King sits on a heavenly throne
Never away nor above nor apart
With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion
He lives in the love that lives in our hearts
8.Ancient Rhymes
Lyrics：John Denver／Bob Samples
Music：John Denver／Bob Samples
Two days before the moon was round
You felt the urge of sun's light beams
The muffled world of dolphin sound
Slipped down and back into your dreams
For nine full months that passed before
You learned of all life's ancient rhymes
Then mother sensed a farther shore
And brought you forth into these times
So taste the air of your new world
And gently guide us to your mind
It knows the winds and sails unfurled
And holds to heart the dolphin kind
Welcome precious earthmade child
We met you first in your father's songs
And mother's smile and waters wild
It's in this place you now belong
I know you know of all these things
And feel the faith of a dolphin's sigh
For you were born on silver wings
To taste the high blown crystal sky
So sing one day to all of us
The songs you learned in dolphin lair
Giving hope to life as all we must
And teach us how their grace to share
9.The Gift You Are
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
Image a month of Sundays
Each one a cloudy day
Imagine the moment the sun came shining through
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you
Remember your darkest hour
With dawn still far away
Remember the way that you longed for morning's light
And think of yourself as a candle in the night
Make believe this is the first day
Everything all brand new
Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star
And then understand the kind of gift you are
CHORUS
The gift you are
like the very first breath of spring
The gift you are
all the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
all of our dreams come true
The gift you are
the gift of you
You are the promise of all the ages
You are the Prodigal Son
You are the vision of prophets and sages
You are the only one
Dream of a bright tomorrow
Know that your dream will come true
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar
Then you will know the kind of gift you are
CHORUS
10.I Watch You Sleeping
Lyrics：Mike Batt
Music：Mike Batt
I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place
I watch you sleeping innocent and free
I don't know what your dreams may be
You don't know what you mean to me
You have never heard thunder
You have never seen the rain
But you can still feel the wonder
You can still feel the pain
And sometimes you look at me
So wise and so sure
I could easily believe you have been here before
I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place
I won't be here forever
But as long as I'm around
I promise you I will never let you down
To help make a world you can feel worthy of
I will teach you to fly on the wings of my love
I watch you sleeping brave and unaware
You don't know yet so you don't care
I want you to know it's hard out there
I watch you sleeping little angel face
And on behalf of the human race
Welcome to this crazy place
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
I watch you sleeping
11.Stonehaven Sunset
Lyrics：John Denver
Music：John Denver
Stonehaven Sunset the water's on fire
My true love is singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by
For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies
Sing of Stonehaven water home, Stonehaven Sunrise
Stonehaven Sunset the desert's on fire
Christ on the cross again burns with desire
They are shooting at random though they aim at us all
It's the children who rise up and children who fall
All the angels are weeping the sweetest of tears
Fall like rivers of mercy to wash all our fears
Sing a song for Old Glory and a future that dies
Sing of Stonehaven desert Home, Stonehaven Sunrise
Stonehaven Sunset the city's on fire
The soldiers just smile and say this gun's for hire
Give in to the beast boy, give in to the thrill
It's just human nature to hunt and to kill
We all die together and yet somehow alone
Just together we have memories and many are gone
Singing songs for old soldiers a chorus of sighs
Sing of Stonehaven's city home, Stonehaven Sunrise
Stonehaven Sunset the mountain's on fire
My spirit is lifted, rising higher and higher
all the prophets are laughing they say we told you so
It's one thing to play guessing games, another to know
For the needs of many are the sins of a few
And the day is forthcoming when accounting is due
Sing a song for sweet Justice with a fire in her eyes
Sing of Stonehaven mountain home, Stonehaven Sunrise
Stonehaven Sunset the water's on fire
My true love is singing, we kiss and conspire
Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky
A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by
For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true
Sing a song for each other for me and for you
Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies
Sing of Stonehaven water home, Stonehaven Sunrise
12.The Flower That Shattered the Stone (Reprise)
Lyrics：Joe Henry／John Jarvis
Music：Joe Henry／John Jarvis
The earth is our mother Just turning around
With her trees in the forest And roots underground
Our father above us whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow Without any end
As the river runs freely (CHORUS)
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Sparrows find freedom Beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty We're all joined in one
I reach out before me And look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper
Did something pass by
(CHORUS)
Like a bright star in heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
