1. _ It's A Possibility
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
For all the times that you've wondered why
The world turned out this way
And all of the times that you've asked yourself
About the games that people play
About the politics of hunger
And the politics of need
How the politics of power
Seem to be the politics of greed
For all of the times that you've struggled in an effort
To work your way back upstream
And all of the times you've held on to it
When most of us had lost the dream
And for all of the ones who have walked with you
By your side or way back home
Maybe much more than any of us
You know that no one is really alone
Because the heart is still a hunter
It's like a beacon in the night
And though the heart is just a lover
It's never afraid to fight
We are fighting for more than survival
We are working for more than peace
We are giving ourselves to each other
Making sure all injustice is will someday cease
You can take a look around you
And you can see how far we've come
All the separate parts
All the hundreds of hearts
That are beating together as one
It's a possibility
For many tomorrows
It's a possibility
Of a world to be made for everyone
It's a possibility
No more suffering and sorrow
It's a possibility
It's in everyone
It's a possibility
For many tomorrows
It's a possibility
Of a world to be made for everyone
It's a possibility
No more suffering and no more sorrow
It's a possibility
It's in everyone

2. _ Let Us Begin (what Are We Making Weapons For?)
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it appears on.
I am the son of a grassland farmer
Western oklahoma nineteen forty three
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free
I gave up my father to south korea
The mind of my brother to vietnam
Now there's a banker who says i must give up my land
There are four generations of blood in this topsoil
Four generations of love on this farm
Before i give up i would gladly give up my right arm
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
I had a son and my son was a soldier
He was so like my father, he was so much like me
To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be
He gave up his future to revolution
His life to a battle that just can't be won
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
I remember the nine hundred days of leningrad
The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
I remember the moments i prayed i would never grow old
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
For the first time in my life i feel like a prisoner
A slave to the ways of the powers that be
And i fear for my children, as i fear for the for the future i see
Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other
What does it take for a people to learn
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
Have we forgotten
All the lives that were given
All the vows that were taken
Saying never again
Now for the first time
This could be the last time
If peace is our vision
Let us begin
Have we forgotten
All the lives that were given
All the vows that were taken
Saying never again, never again
Now for the first time
This could be the last time
If peace is our vision
Let us begin, let us begin

3. _ One World
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Don't want to live in new york city, man
Don't want to live in tokyo
I want to stay in my own village, man
Is nowhere else i need to go
Is nothing that i want for myself
That i don't want for everyone
To work in peace to live in freedom
To look and never see a gun
Why are you calling this the third world
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world, one world
My heart it hurts more than my belly
So hard to live in poverty
I want to work for my own living, man
Don't want someone to care for me
Don't want to speak to revolution
It starts to sounding like a fight
I give myself to evolution
One world will make it be all right
Why are you calling this the third world
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world, one world
This world is made for everybody
This life is gift for everyone
This earth is bound to keep on turning
This day is flowers in the sunshine, sunshine
Why are you calling this the third world
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it will be our world
Can you imagine someday one world, one world
Why are you calling this the third world
I only know that it is my world
Maybe someday it can be our world
Can you imagine one world, one world

4. _ Along For The Ride ('56 T-bird)
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on one world album, and has also been released on the country classics album.
I had a '56 t-bird
Then i was king of the highway
Trying to make it look fast and easy
And dreamin' of doin' it my way
Let's put the top down baby
Feel the wind in our hair
We were too young to know better
And too cool to care
All i wanted was you by my side
Baby you're only along for the ride
Only along for the ride
Rock and roll on the radio
Let's turn it up and get down
Convertible dreams running wild in the streets
In the all time american town
When you played the thrill queen, baby
I heard the jazz of joy
You were every girl in the world
But i wasn't every boy
All i wanted was you by my side
Baby, you're only along for the ride
All i wanted was you by my side
Baby, you're only along for the ride
Only along for the ride
Memory pink and charcoal grey
Are the clours i painted this song
You were 19 and perfect, baby
But no one stays perfect too long
All i wanted was you by my side
Baby you're only along for the ride
Only along for the ride

5. _ Love Again
This song appears on eight albums, and was first released on the one world album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, john denver (italian) country classics, the country roads
Ection and the rocky mountain collection albums in a duet with sylvie vartan. john sings it again by himslef on the love again and a celebration of life albums.
I didn't think it could happen again
I'm just too old and set in my ways
I was convinced i would always be lonely
All of the rest of my days
Maybe i give up on romance
In my longing to give up the pain
I just didn't believe i would ever love again
I was like one who had shut myself in
Closed the windows, locked all the doors
Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart
Yet knowing there had to be more
Though it sounds like a great contradiction
It's the easiest thing to explain
You see, i was afraid i might never love again
What does it take for a blind man to see
That there's more there than just meets the eye
What are the ways that the magic comes in
That can turn a song into a sigh
Sometimes i think that i'm dreaming
Or maybe i'm going insane
Or maybe it's just that i'm falling in love again
Here i am standing beside you
Oh life's such a wonderful game
Look at me now, i'm falling in love
Look at me now, i'm falling in love
Look at me now, i'm falling in love again

6. _ True Love Takes Time
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
As i travel down the road and search the empty sky
Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see
Many are the memories the mysteries of time
How they dance around and whisper endlessly
Yes i've travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And it's so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that love takes time
It seemed impossible that i could care again
So it seemed i had forgotten how to give
What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams
All at once i can remember how to live
Yes i've travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And it's so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
I have been too much alone for oh so many years
Looking for someone to sing with me
Sweet harmony
My heart is open now and tender to the touch
But there is love enough to heal me in your hands
I'll give you all my nights
All my sun and rainy days
I'll give you all the time it takes to understand
We've travelled down this road before
Where so many fools have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And it's so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)

7. _ Flying For Me
This song appears on five albums, and was first released on the one world album, and has also been released on the a portrait, country classics, the rocky mountain collection and the country roa
Llection albums.
Well i guess that you probably know by now
I was one who wanted to fly
I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven
And i wanted to go for every man
Every child, every mother of children
I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars
And i prayed that i'd find an answer there
Or maybe i would find a song
Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard
And for all of the ones who live in fear
And all of those who stand apart
My being there would bring us a little step closer together
They were flying for me
They were flying for everyone
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
They gave us their light
They gave us their spirit and all they could be
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
And i wanted to wish upon the milky way
And dance upon a falling star
I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all
Given the chance to dream, it can be done
The promise of tomorrow is real
Children of spaceship earth
The future belongs to us all
She was flying for me
She was flying for everyone
She was trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
She gave us her light
She gave us her spirit and all she can be
She was flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for everyone
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
They gave us their light
They gave us their spirit and all they can be
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for me

8. _ Hey There, Mr. Lonely Heart
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Hey there, mr. lonely heart, if you could find the time
I would like to sit and talk, to see if we could find
The answer to the mystery of love's most precious seed
Is it in a touch or in a kiss or simply in the need
Or is it really love itself that always wants to give
The heart and soul of all of us and everything that lives
Hey there, mr. cold, cold heart, i know i could be wrong
To think that life could be so sweet and love could be so strong
As to gather everyone of us, like one big family
To share with one another all we have and all we see
It's true the deepest part of us is everywhere the same
And that the only differences are really just the names
We can join the children's song and show them that we care
Let them know we're on their side, no matter when or where
We can free their hearts from fear and hunger reconcile
We can give a child a chance and give a child a smile
True love is still the answer, and we are still the way
The gift is in the giving, and in living what we say
And if you have a lonely heart, this song is just for you
To ask for all that you can give and all that you can do
Remember that the mystery of love's most precious seed
Is in the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
It's in the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need
Within the heart of all of us, true love is all we need

9. _ I Remember You
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I remember you
You're the one that made my dreams come true
Just a few kisses ago
I remember you
You're the one who said i love you too
Yes i do
Didn't you know
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thril of them all
Then i will tell them i remember
Tell them i remember
Tell them i remember you
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then i will tell them i remember
Tell them i remember
Tell them i remember you

10. _ Love Is The Master
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the one world album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
Almost exactly a year ago
I came here for the very first time
Looking up at the spanish window
From a trail on the edge of the timberline
I've been off on a journey to find myself
Maybe find my way back home
Been many an hour all by myself
In the darkest of nights
I was never ever alone
Back in the san juan mountains again
On a ride with some good old boys
Telling stories around a campfire
The sound of laughter is the loudest noise
There's something in a night in the wilderness
It's a magical thing to me
Like the sky is just a little bit brighter
And your life is everything that you'd like it to be
There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow
You can feel it in the chill of the wind
Let the rain wash away all my sorrow
Today is the day that my life starts all over again
I guess that it's just about over now
Everything's about to change
Everything's a brand new number, darlin'
Everything's a brand new game
And it's funny i could even call you that
After all the pain we've been through
Ah, but time is the master of healing
Love is the master of everything that we do
There'll be snow on the passes tomorrow
You can feel it in the chill of the wind
Let the rain wash away all my sorrow
Today is the day that my life starts all over again

11. _ I Can't Escape
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the one world album. it has also been released on the country roads collection album.
Funny thing about this little heart of mine
All the ways that it can say
(i love you)
Longer than forever
Till the end of time
No matter baby come what may
(i love you)
Look at me now sittin' all by myself
Face another sleepless night all alone
All i look forward to is lying here living this song
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe i still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
Listen to the music on the radio
Top forty hits of yesterday
(i love you)
Leavin' on a jet plane
Blowin' in the wind
The silly games that people play
(i love you)
Each of them carries your memory still
I can still see that look in your eyes
The one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe i still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
Every rain in the morning reminds me of you
Every night when it's cold outside
Every time that i ache inside
(i love you)
(i love you)
Sometimes i wish it was ten years ago
We were starting all over again
Yet the way that i feel is much more than just remembering when
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe i still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
All of the time
All of the time
