John Denver's song the Eagle and the Hawk
I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and theres blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all of those who see me, all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail oer the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be and not what we are
I can sing this from memory, just because I listened to this amazing song over - and over - and over again. He has such a clear voice.
R.I.P John Denver.

I find it amazing the way he sings! How he lifts his voice while singing, and how long he held the notes! I always loved his songs, they give such meaning, his voice was/is perfect. He could really communicate with the viewers/audiences, he was an amazing man! The way he stood up for what he believed in, which was mainly Peace and love for nature. When growing up this song was my favorite. But now they are all my favorite, John Denver is my favorite singer and song writer!! Thumbs up!!!

@rmiller1409 Ah ha! Good one. Yeah, Skynyrd wrote a song for all the Tigers of the world.
Well, I've been riding a winning horse for a long, long time
And sometimes I wonder is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage of who they are
No man has got it made if he thinks he does he's wrong
Every mother's son better hear what I'm saying
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday
