We, too, are proud and rejoiceful For the Independence of Our Beautiful Nation! by Judy Kay Losinski 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 Suddenly things stand still I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will Class Song Looking for Space 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 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 Suddenly everything's clear I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams 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 dream Sometimes I'm almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometimes I'm deep in despair by John Denver 30 LOOKING FOR SPACE by John Denver ■ Copyright 1975 Cherry Lane Music Co.
