About Looking for Space

"Looking for Space" is a popular song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter John Denver. Released as a single from his album Windsong, "Looking for Space" peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1976. On the easy listening chart, the song reached #1 to become his seventh to top that chart. Denver described the themes of the song to Billboard magazine: "It's about looking for the definition of who you are, by finding out where you are, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. " He has also credited his training in Erhard Seminars Training as inspiring the lyrics to the song. Denver dedicated this song to Werner Erhard, and it was the theme song for the est organization. The song experienced a brief resurgence in popularity in 1987 when it featured prominently in "Limbo,” the last episode of Season 7 of the television series Magnum, P. I.. The song played in its entirety over the last four minutes of the episode, which had originally been intended to serve as the series finale. more »

On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving, suddenly things stand still
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there 
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center, suddenly everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and  understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there 
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

On the road of experience, join in the living day
If there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way

When you're looking for space
And to find out who you are
When you're looking to try and reach the stars
It's a sweet, sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there 
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But sometimes I'm deep in despair
Sometimes I fly like an eagle, 
Like an eagle
I go flying flying
