Looking For Space Lyrics

Artist: John Denver

Looking For Space
John Denver

On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving, suddently things stand still
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center, suddently everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

On the road of experience, join in the living day
if there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way

When you're looking for space
And to find out who you are
When you're looking to try and reach the stars
It's a sweet, sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But sometimes I'm deep in despair
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
like an eagle
I go flying flying

by Kiernan on 11/10/2008 2:44pm My favorite song of all-time!
by forgetmenot on 11/11/2008 5:41pm I think he had bipolar
by Thomas on 11/12/2008 1:06pm If someone can tell me name of the better song then this...I'm ready to pay him. The most beautiful song in the univers. In the space, as John would says.
by Elizabeth on 11/21/2008 3:09pm I come back to this song again and again. When I'm so down, it brings me back; shall I say it centers me? ;)
by Brooks on 11/23/2008 10:23am One of the great songs. Made my wife promise to have it played at my funeral.
by Erik on 11/25/2008 4:08pm One Man doing so much for so many. The world misses you John as I do.
by David on 11/28/2008 1:57am I first heard this song on Magnum P.I. The song was featured in the episode in which Magnum was supposed to die, but the fans brought him back. Yes, this is a beautiful song. One that reached that "space," that "center," the "sublime."
by Pam on 12/1/2008 11:03am "Sometimes the answer is just that it's just that way." What a great line of a beautiful song.
by SB San on 12/5/2008 3:21am I was looking n looking for d song that can define my today....and finally i find it..... Its like it can read my mind.... Thanks John
by Let's Avoid The Dramatics on 12/13/2008 11:53pm The date is December 13th, it's 12:22 AM. This song is too dramatic for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. It wouldn't be so sad if it wasn't so pathetic. I'm probably the best father of the people I know, you son of a gun. I TOOK YOU TO A MAGIC SHOW! Virtual reality show! PARIS! Why are you mean? WHY! WHY! Yes, you have my genes. But! You can not take my fatherhood. NOR CAN YOU HAVE IT!
by jkinstler on 12/22/2008 9:19pm John uses a lot of metaphors and similarities in his songs and as a song signer myself I cannot tell you what great joy to interpret his songs in American Sign Language (ASL). If you cannot sing then sign. John introduce music into my life and I will continue to share his spirit to others through sign. Thank you for being part of my life John!
by Josh on 1/1/2009 6:40pm I also heard this song for the first time on the intended-to-be final episode of Magnum P.I. A very touching, honest and meaningful song.
by Michael on 1/10/2009 9:28am B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.....the lyrics absolutely get to me. It so much like what i feel sometimes. Excellent song!
by tschlink on 2/3/2009 1:35am How did one man have so much wisdom and the world not appreciate him more?
by julie on 2/13/2009 8:15pm listen to the lyrics of all his music, he was ahead of his time in appreciating the environment.What a teacher of the land
by Darla on 3/7/2009 4:13pm This song allows me to soar, it always has. Now, at the point I'm at in my life, it's even more perfect. I find it to be very Zen. They lyrics and music of this one move with us through all of our lives...
by Bri55033 on 3/7/2009 10:01pm Until recently, I'd never taken the time to reflect on why I have always come back to this song when life seems difficult. Recently, I decided to read and reflect on the lyrics for the first time. I found that the simple prose contained a powerful message about the human condition. It exemplifies the struggle that we all face, as well as the need for discovery and definition of what's important in our lives in order to cope with that struggle. Life is a passage that will take all of us to amazing highs and dramatic lows. Regardless of where we are along that journey, the discovery and definition of our "center" will always allow us someplace supportive to come back to.
by David D on 3/21/2009 2:46pm This song and lyrics of other Mr. John Denver's songs inspiring me very well. Every time I hear this particular song Im looking back in my life and revising all experiences I have had so far. Im still young men, but time runs so fast that I just thinking about how we all going to live later on this 'Express Train' life.
by jessika h on 4/4/2009 3:37am my dad was a huge john denver fan and he brought us all up to love him as well, my dad passed away a month ago and i find myself sitting her listening to this song thinking of him..i love you daddy
by You know... on 4/13/2009 11:55pm I will always associate this song with the episode of Magnum, PI where they killed him off, and he was in Limbo trying to tie up all the loose ends of his life. Before they decided to do a 9th season and decided he was just in a coma, of course.
by Another Josh on 5/13/2009 1:35am I never really watched Magnum, P.I. when it was first on. I went through all the episodes a few years ago while unemployed, and also heard this song for the first time there. It's on my iPod now, and every time I hear it, I strongly associate it with that episode. It makes for an even more emotional response.
by WiiDad on 6/22/2009 10:23pm I too first heard this song on magnum many many years ago. I thought John sang the song but could not find the name. I found it tonight and heard it for the first time since the TV show. WOW!!!!
by Pavla on 7/1/2009 1:21pm John is not so well-know in my country (I'm czech). I've found him on youtube as it happens. I was aware that I know some his songs for all my live. But not all. When I've found this song, I've stoped looking for next one. "Looking for space" is the best! And John was magic writer.
by sixthday on 7/14/2009 10:41pm This song was actually written and dedicated to est training (Erhard Seminar Training), which was a big inspiration to John Denver and his songwriting.
by linda on 8/10/2009 12:32am John was and is a wonderful and gentle soul, not to mention a good looking man. His talent was great as his heart. I feel that Annie was the love of his life and I hope they get to have a life together, next time around. Though he had problems like we ALL do, he was a kind and loving person. We love you John!
