“All my memories gather round her/ Miner's lady/ Stranger to blue water/ Dark and dusty/ painted on the sky/ Misty taste of moonshine/ Teardrop in my eye.” His voice just exudes a positive aura, and makes it hard not to dance and smile. Similarly to his other songs, Denver uses beautiful imagery to encapsulate the energy of the song. Originally intended for Johnny Cash, this song exuberates positive energy with a catchy folk tune. It says “I want to live.”’ The chorus, “I want to live/ I want to grow/ I want to see/ I want to know/ I want to share what I can give/ I want to be/ I want to live” echoes a desperate cry for peace and equality to extend the far corners of our earth, and that every single person just longs to follow these simple words. This song comes from what I believe to be heard in the birth cry of every newborn baby. Truly as human beings, in our desires, our hopes and our dreams, our frustrations, our vision, we are all the same. That everywhere people are the same, no matter the color of your skin, no matter the language you speak, no matter the form of your politics, or the expression of your faith.
It was written out of the proposition that all men and women are truly created equal. Denver once prefaced this song by stating, “For many many people, it is a very very desperate time here on planet earth. The lyrics to this song are ones that never fail to make me feel attached to our world and our lives on earth.
