The Wings That Fly Us Home

The Wings That Fly Us Home” – John Denver and Joe Henry wrote many songs together, and “The Wings That Fly Us Home” holds a special place. Today we remember John Denver. This song may provide comfort to those attending the funeral. It speaks of the spirit that comforts us when we are mourning a loss. The ending lyrics are particularly comforting:
“Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home.”
