Stranger Than Fiction
By Terry Lynch

(Chorus -- repeat as desired)
It's stranger than fiction
It's stranger than life
It's the dreams we dream
It's the dreams we share.

Not everyone's happy, not everyone's glad
Some people are hungry, some people are sad
But there's enough of loven' to go 'round
Enough of food for the soul if we'd all share.

State and religion can't save the whole world
It takes me and you together
It takes neighbor and neighbor
For its love that brightens, it's love that enlightens.

Now I know there are many who kneel and who pray
To false gods and idols, to sun and to stars
But the praying's no good with greed and with guns
It's loven' that changes the heart and the soul.

I look at the rainbow it tells me I know
That some day all people will shine and will glow
If just enough kisses, if just enough hugs
If just  enough sharing, if just enough loving.

It's stranger than fiction
It's stranger than life
It's the dreams we dream
It's the dreams we share.
...It's the love we make out of our dreams
...It's the promise we keep, to keep building our dreams.

Remarks:  Inspired by listening to John Denver's songs.  I played
John Denver's CD's for several days after his death.  This and several
other songs were inspired by visions of John Denver.  It was as if
John Denver was alive in me and singing through me.  Just my imagination
perhaps, or maybe divine inspiration.  Note this particular song
has nothing to do with the Promise Keepers religious movement.
It is an expression of faith in one's self and the creative spirit to
pursue one's dreams.  I believe that is how John Denver led his life
and how he would like to inspire others to follow in his footsteps.
