For John


Well, you just wanted to save the world

To make people happy

To find friends

To find yourself

Spread your wings and soar

Over the world, spread your song, you beautiful bird

You eagle, you hawk

You came crashing down

The world you loved so well, she took you

Did you ever find yourself

Become one with the Earth,

Taken down by your own wings

You’ve left us your autograph

You can still save the world

You beautiful bird

So dance with the mountains, because you are one

So spread your wings

And spread your song

You eagle,

You hawk

And sing
