The world is fast becoming younger
The news is all theyve ever known
Theyve seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger
How will they choose when they are grown
What do you tell forevers children
When its their turn to hurt and heal
Whatever spins a grim tornedo
Can also turn a potters wheel
Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in
Tell with your life the bloody story
Teach to theyre dreams not burning steel
Its not in bombs where lies the glory
But in whats shattered on the field
The potters wheel takes love and caring
Skill and patience fast and slow
The works it makes are easily broken
Once they survive the potters throw
Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in
Some day some children will be digging
In some long forgotten ground
And theyll find our civilisation
Or whats left of it to be found
Theyll find the weapons of destruction
But buried deeper in the hole
Theyll find a message and a promise
In the sand, the potters bowl
Take a little clay
Put it on a wheel
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little turn
Listen to a spin
Make it into the shape
You want it in
Earth and fire and wind conspire
With human hands, and love, and fire

John Denver, born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (1943-1997), was an American singer-songwriter and musician deeply rooted in the folk rock genre. Born in Roswell, New Mexico, Denver spent his childhood between Colorado and Arizona, influenced by the natural beauty of the American West, which often found inspiration in his songs. After studying music at college, he moved to Denver, Colorado, where he began his musical career playing in local venues and folk festivals. In 1970, he signed a record deal with RCA Records and released his debut album, "Poems, Prayers and Promises", which was a great success. Denver became famous for his catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and warm, reassuring voice. His most famous songs include "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song" and "Rocky Mountain High". His music often celebrated nature, love for family, and the desire for peace and harmony.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
