I am the hawk and there's blood in my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry. And all those who see me and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly.

What one man can do is dream. What one man can do is love. What one man can do is change the world.

I got me a fine wife and I got me old fiddle, when the suns coming up I got cakes on the griddle. And life ain't nothing, but a funny, funny riddle.

I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.

We must begin to make what I call "conscious choices," and to really recognize that we are the same. It's from that place in my heart that I write my songs.

I was never trying to write a hit. I was just trying to write good songs and get a message out, and it was my great good fortune to be popular.

To live on the land we must learn from the ocean, to be true as the tide and free as the wind swell.
