What One Man Can Do
Words and Music by John Denver
I suppose that there are those
Who'll say he had it easy
Had it made in fact
Before he'd ever begun
But they don't know the things I know
I was always with him
It may sound strange
But we were more than friends
It's hard to tell the truth
When no one wants to listen
When no one really cares what's going on
And it's hard to stand alone
When you need someone beside you
Your spirit and your faith must be stong
What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it young again
Here you see what one man can do
As shaded as his eyes might be
That's how bright his mind is
That's how strong his love for you and me
A friend to all the universe
Grandfather of the future
And everything that I would like to be
What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it new again
Here you see what one man can do
What one man can do is dream
What one man can do is love
What one man can do is change the world
And make it work again
Here you see what one man can do
