John Denver - Healing Time On Earth 

Every song, John Denver sang, was a tribute to Mother Earth. And every one of his songs was meant to be healing in itself. He was a true lover of nature and in his music (in my opinion) he tried to convey the healing power of Life ... Mother Earth ... Nature. Bless you John.

I miss his gift....he really believed in the possibility of tomorrow...through each other..through the planet God gave us...there is none like him....and never will be.

One of the few life regrets I have is never seeing this man perform live. Rest in peace. May your words never be forgotten. Beautiful song.

I was fortunate enough to hear John Denver sing this live in concert in Austin, Texas just 8 days before he died. I had never heard it before and was brought to tears. It was magical. I only wish it were recorded so more people could hear it. We miss you, John!

We need John Denver more than ever!! His music United us in a way we need so very much in our World Today And For All Time!!! God bless you dear John, you gave us so much and I will miss you forever. Love, Me

I sure wish we still John here to speak and sing! Every time I hear him sing I know his loss is far greater than we realized!

He was the best performer of all time, I miss him singing so much. You were loved John Denver and this rare song is what you stood for. God Bless and soar high!

This song is beautiful and should be published. I used to listen to him a lot while growing up and believed he died way before his time.

The heartfelt intelligence of this song is genuinely unsurpassing.

What a high-quality person is John Denver!! May he rest in peace and God bless John's family and everyone

I always notice how his voice became better with the years.

John has always been an inspiration and when times were dark and lonely his songs got me through. When he passed I was so broken hearted I listen to his songs for days and watched every video I could find of him. I love this song it gave me the feeling that God really wrote the song and used John to sing it. God bless you John you will always be in my heart.

I was there...the story in the introduction was true... I was working backstage that day from early morning until concert...he was literally writing it that day. Amazing and heart felt.

This song is absolutely beautiful. And for him to sing a song for the first time and only make one mis-step with the words reminds me of how intelligent he obviously was. I was always amazed that he could stand up and sing for 2 hours and he so very rarely ever mucked up the words. If you ask most musicians that is not an easy feat. Bless you JD, you always make my heart sing.

This is a gorgeous song and melody and I've never heard him sing better.

I was there...magical moment...

he was a 20th century mystic 💕🎵🌈

I have heard this once before and it sends goosebumps up my spine. The consummate singer and songwriter. And this gets dislikes. Some people don't have a life. One of my favourite entertainers of all time.

John Denver was a musical genius. He wrote so many breathtaking songs. This song ' Healing Time On Earth ' is just beautiful. John Denver sang from his heart and soul. x

I see that this was posted 4 1/2 years ago. So good to see that people are finding it in these changing times and being comforted. I had never heard the song and love it like all the others. His voice was golden.

Such a beautiful Song for such a troubled world...Thank You John Denver...

I MISS YOU JOHN.. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FANTASTIC MUSIC YOU WROTE AND SANG THAT TELLS SO MANY STORIES.. I CLOSE MY EYES AND LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC ... GOD BLESS YOU... REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND....XOXO

I absolutely love this song ❤️

Truly miss John Denver's presence in music...thankful also to have RU-vid to keep his music alive within my home and my soul! Rest eternally in His peace, Mr. Denver.

I have loved John Denver and his songs. And I like how he speak. I really felt his songs, can touch my heart... Honestly, all his songs was beautiful.. This song reflects nowadays..

Wonderful to hear this amazing visionary speak so beautifully about the visionary process and it's wonderful to see him create, open-hearted, in real time, as it should be, as WE should be. John Denver may your spirit be with us, guide us - surely this is a time when we need you more than ever.

A beautiful song This man was a very talented musician. I miss him greatly.

I was so lucky to see John Denver when he came to Australia..beautiful voice, everyone adored him. ..he is the best entertainer I have ever seen..will never forget him.❤

I loved John Denver and all that he sang. Wish he was still here to open our souls to the world around us.

Talk about magical....this song is absolutely divinely inspired. Love love love it.

Thank you so much Misha Nay!! I heard John sing live in San Diego after he'd returned from Russia I was blown away by the power and also tenderness in his singing. He included a few of his songs in Ruddian. Then I happened to be eating at the Chart House in Monterey just two days befor he crashed into the bay. I will never forget him and I believe Annie won't either. Just guessing there. Elizabeth Gabber

《 Tears 》...... so beautiful !!! I just LOVE to hear him talk .. and then to hear the most magnificent magical voice ever ~ ♡ sigh ~♡

His music brought love to my heart and a tear to my eye. He left this world way too soon. This was a beautiful example of his talent.

Talented beyond all explanation. John Denver's ability to make words and thought flow is magical. We need another John Denver (although that can never be) right now! WILL NEVER STOP LOVING THIS MUSIC, THOUGHT, AND INSPIRATION.

Let the mountains talk, let the river run There is wisdom here, there is much to learn There is much to know, much to understand In this healing time all across the land You have heard my songs, oh so many years You have laughed with me, washed away my tears You have shared my joy, you have felt my pain In this healing time, walk with me again Through these darker days on this narrow line Help me find my way, help me see the signs I am not afraid, I am not alone You have taught me well, you have brought me home Let the mountain speak, let the rivers run As the world awakes to the rising sun In each brand new day, in our own rebirth In this healing time on our Mother Earth Let the mountains talk, let the rivers run There is wisdom here, there’s so much to learn In each brand new day, in our own rebirth In this healing time for our Mother Earth In each brand new day, in our own rebirth In this healing time, here on Mother Eart

peace....that has always been his message...such a beautiful song of peace since this difficult election time...we need peace...and he has the capacity to heal us...rest, relax...and turn on John Denver's music...all will be alright...we should listen to our musicians...they touch our 'souls'... and give us peace... it is now the...healing time...

for me this is my new earth anthem in these days of covid 19... thank you John Denver!!!

A dear friend sent me this link for my birthday this month---what a wonderful gift! I had never heard it but I love it! So beautiful! I still cry whenever I listen to him; such a loss! I love him still!

This takes me back to the days when getting high on life was good enough all by itself because each sunrise held so much promise...

That was great. I've heard it many times but never saw it before. I'm still impressed with this guy after all these years. Is there anyone left today that is as dedicated to Earth's environment as this man was?

Speaks volumes of how Mother Earth speaks through us and encourages us to care for this beautiful planet she has in trusted-into our care, as well to care for each other. From Mother Earths heart to Johns pen. Beautiful!

John Denver was an awesome musician. Hope he is getting to play in an Angel Band.

I loved him and his music, miss him dearly.

It was around 1980, I was in Iran listening to the bootleg tapes smuggled into after-revolution Iran from the newest releases. Back then I didn't know many of the Western singers but out of 100 or so tapes I remember I didn't like Jacksons and Elton-John much but the two I liked the most were Billy Joel and John Denver, ofcourse I still didn't even know how they looked but they had soul and warmth. When I got to America I found out I was right, they were just as good from near that they sounded from far.

Oh this is so beautiful. It still hurts so much when I think about John Denver's death.

What a nice, incredible, kind, awesome man.

every time i hear this song and it's story i get chills! the story alone is amazing! he has no idea how amazing he was and how important his music was and how it spoke to people and still does! i was lucky enough to see him in concert a few times and always gave a good show! this song is classic john denver and proof you simply cannot rush the creative process it wasn't ready to be written by yet, but some how that night bit by bit he did it!!! the man upstairs knew would be needing a song to help us heal and chose the right person to bring it to us. his music continues to give us pleasure, and wisdom if only we care to listen. RIP JOHN DENVER YOU ARE MISSED A LOT!

Wow. never heard this at all!! A truly gifted man.. I have been a fan for 40+ years. (Yikes!) His was the first concert I EVER went to at about 17! This is just so lovely..

miss you old friend thank God for you tube and this look into the life of one great man , . . .

In 1972 I moved from Michigan to New York and was distraught at having to leave the woods and lakes that I loved so much. John Denver was my connection back to all that I loved. My son recently moved to Golden Colorado and I just returned from a 5 day trip to visit him and we went fishing up in the high Alpine lakes and streams that I’d heard JD sing about and his lyrics were alive within me. So ironic that my sister should send me this song today after my return to Long Island. JD has been a part of my life and my love of nature for 54 years. A true gift. Thank you JD.

What a blessing this song is!!! And so beautifully sung. Oh my God..the world should hear it today. So glad I stumbled on this. THANK YOU . Appreciation from South Africa.

Soft melody, sweet music. John Denver at his best.

He was great. Such personality. Boy do we need this song and more Peace writers.

I was at this Windstar Symposium when he performed this rare song. He also performed another song, Wandering Soul, at this Windstar Symposium which is my absolute favorite of John Denver's songs and it was never published as well. The intro to the song is exactly as he did it live...I actually have the cassette tape of that Windstar Symposium.

I love his music and his humor :) He makes me laugh and cry with emotion in seconds... What a wonderful man ♥

John's presence in this song was truly inspired. Loved so dearly, and so very dearly missed.

John was a gift who shared his talent and love for all living beings on our Mother earth. Gone too soon, he is still missed Thanks for sharing this beautiful song of his.❤

His pause had to do with the song not being done and he looked up for inspiration. They laughed because of what he said in his introduction about it still being in process. A great moment.

Such a rare and beautiful man.

🥀Amazing Song I love it and his story telling love his sence of humor but his music is so powerful🥀🕊🥀☝️

I thought the audience laughed because they think he is writing the words on the spot and did not know what the next line was going to be. It worked for me.

we miss you John such a talented guy.

Sometimes words come out best at the last minute straight from the heart.

Loved this.....peaceful

Wow, what a beautiful song!

As always, John Denver at his best, even as he makes up the songs as he goes along, they're always beautiful-!!! :-D

Such a talent. Gone too soon.

my very favorite segment of this song are these wonderful & inspirational lyrics and beautiful melody & vocal crescendo, that is the heart & the pure talent & genius of JD: 4:28-5:15 In this Healing Time.. Walk with me again.. Through these darker days.. On this narrow line.. ❤❤Help me find my way.. Help me see the signs.. I am not afraid.. I am not alone.. You have taught me well.. You have brought me home ❣❣ ❤❤ Thn-q SDo 💕💞😍💓❣❣

Boom - right in the heart. Thank you John. Beautiful brother. RIP

I stumbled on this clip yesterday for the first time and immediately fell in love with it and the meaningful lyrics, John's simple guitar picking and of course that warm colourful tone of his voice. A very special song and I appreciate that it has been posted for the rest of us to enjoy. Heartfelt thanks.

what a wonderful song. Thank you. and yes, you can see the look on John's face, his eyes moving back and forth, as he tries to remember what's next, making a slight pause in the movement of the tune. This is what made the audience laugh briefly and truly appreciate John's style and work in composition. Awesome :D

Love this video...…….The song is beautiful and his voice wonderful...….John Denver, The Best.....9/11/19

Gawd, I miss John Denver! 💔

Today 20 years we lost this wonderful and amazing man and great singer💔. Tears in my heart but I'm greatful that John have lived💓 💞

Wow, Do I ever miss John Denver as I warch and listen to this beautiful song.

Beautiful song! Beautiful Man!

Still miss John so much.. :(

OH! I found this on youtube in 2008 and it was removed. I have been searching for it ever since! This is such a fantastic song and the video is truly capturing John's character. This is one of a kind. Thank you for posting.

OMG, how gifted this man was!! So magical...the amazing words that come out of his soul so effortlessly in such a soothing melody and tone - just so genuine and pure...and sublime!! His love for our nature is indisputable and no one has ever dedicated their songs to mother earth like him!! It might take a few more years for the world to understand how much our generation and the future generations are gonna miss this gifted man!! RIP John!!

I miss him. Taken way too soon. What a Sweet Soul.

Touching. Soothing.

I miss him so much!

I am not afraid,I am not alone...may we see the rising sun!

Now after this Covid 19 maybe people will respect the Earth and look after it instead of abusing it and look after the seas and animals as John would have wished, what a great man the World had in John Denver, I know this man is in the heaven of heavens.

Dear Jesus God, I love this man

love this man. love his message.

So blessed to have listened to this wonderful tribute to mother earth. God bless you John Denver.

Lovely. He is one of my most favorite singers. His songs were special. He was special.

unreal ... he's simply amazing ... love you John ... you warm my heart

Such an amazing singer songwriter. You really need to listen to this song.

Such a gift. Such a loss. 😢💖🌺🦅🙏

Oh what a pleasure to experience John Denver opening up and giving us a bit of himself through his wonderful music. What pleasurable vibrations.

This is such a special treasure. Thank you so much for sharing.

An anthem for 2020. Loved him then, love him still.

A friend posted this on Facebook, and I stumbled upon it. It was very emotional for me as I am in my own healing time. I lost my husband of nearly 42 years, just over a month ago. Needless to say, these words hit me hard. They are as appropriate for the loss of as loved one, as they are for our concern for Mother Earth. John Denver was one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and I have all of his music...except this one. Thank you John for your talent, caring and love of this land. You, of course, were gone way too soon, but may we all learn from your words...before it is too late.

This is great song and though it was recorded 20 plus years ago, it certainly applies to today. Thank you John for all the moments.

Someone shared this today, 3/10/21. I love it. He was one of my all-time favorite entertainers.

A one-of-a-kind artist -- so genuine, so bright, so articulate, so TALENTED. Tears of joy hearing this extraordinary, last gift to us who treasure his body of work. How wonderful you were right there in person for this. Thank you soooooo very much for sharing it.

This a great song especially right now. thanks John for all your inspirational songs through out your lifetime. Thank you

He's soooooo talented....just Wow..🌞🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌞😇❤❤❤❤❤
