John Denver

reel · Jul 4, 2026

John Denver spent his life singing about this land — its mountains, its rivers, its wide open promise. This 4th of July, as we celebrate 250 years of America, that spirit feels worth holding onto: gratitude for the land itself, and hope for what we build on it together. Happy Independence Day. 🎆 #FourthOfJuly #JohnDenver #America250

There’s a name for war and killing And there’s a name for giving in when you know another answer And for me the name is sin But there’s still time to turn around and make all hatred cease And give another name to living, and we could call it “Peace” And peace would be the road we walk, each step along the way And peace would be the way we work and peace the way we play And in all we see that’s different and in all the things we know Peace would be the way we look and peace the way we grow There’

John Denver's Peace Poem - There's a name for war and killing There's a name for giving in When you know another answer For me the name is sin But there's still time to turn around And make all hatred cease And give another name to living And we could call it peace And peace would be the road we walk Each step along the way And peace would be the way we work And peace the way we play And in all we see that's different And in all the things we know Peace would be the way we look And peace the way
