1978 - Alaska America's Child


                                                         Part 1

In this video we see John exploring and learning about the Alaskan wilderness and culture with local guides. Experiencing the land, the bears, the fishing, and other less attractive things like the oil drilling and whaling ramifications expanded John's commitment to the environment, to become a proponent in finding a balance so that nature and communities do not suffer. This film also was shown to lawmakers to persuade them of the importance of signing the Alaska Lands Act of 1980.

1994- Sweet Surrender

Sweet Surrender lyrics by John Denver:

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway Traveled by many, remembered by few Lookin' for something that I can believe in Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me To something that might have been true yesterday Tomorrow is open, right now it seems to be more Than enough to just be here today And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store I don't know where I'm goin', I'm not sure where I've been There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me My life is worth the livin', I don't need to see the end Sweet, sweet surrender, live, live without care Like a fish in the water, like a bird in the air Sweet, sweet surrender, live, live without care Like a fish in the water, like a bird in the air
