As a late teenager and young adult, my fantasy-man was singer and songwriter Dan Fogelberg. We were born in the same unconsious little river town, Peoria, IL, 2 months apart. Dan died of prostate Cancer Dec 16th, 2007. His beautiful and moving songs have soothed me and countless others through our life changes, dark nights of the soul, and lost loves.

Dan, We send you on your way with words from your own song, Icarus Rising. We honor you for your love of our threatened little planet and all that it tries so hard to nurture in Earth Anthem. Both these songs are on Dan’s last album, Full Circle. Got to his official website @ http://www.danfogelberg.com/

Thank you for being the minstrel of peace, passionate love and Gaia-consciousness that you have been all these years.

Dan Fogelberg

Icarus Ascending

Soaring alone upon a threatening wind
Just fix your eyes on the horizon
Cut off from everything
you’ve known or have been
I shouldn’t think it’s so surprisin’
Spiralling upward on a freshening lift
Reaching the realms of fleet Apollo
You have been given the most sacred of gifts
You must be fearless now and follow
Chorus
Don’t look down
Though your heart may be weary
Don’t look down
Though your wings are on fire
Don’t look down
Though the night may seem endless
There’s a reason you’re flying
this fast and this far
Let your faith be your strength
And your love be your guiding star
Venturing further than
the length of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginnings
There is a gamble in each
proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings
Circling and diving with this
freedom you’ve found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place
that we’re bound
Love is the only thing that matters
Repeat Chorus
Up…..up…..up…..up…..

Earth Anthem
(Bill Martin)

And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun

God, keep it evergreen
To keep it ever green
I would lay my life down
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen
