One of Jim Henson’s top favorite songs and he ended his Muppet Christmas special with it. # 3 favorite song performed at his funeral. Touches my heart every time I hear it. Thanks.
Lawrence Apsey, the Quaker and retired Boston lawyer who co-founded the Quaker-derived laboratory peacemaking method called 'Alternatives to Violence' (AVP) confirmed to me when I trained with him in the 1970s that this is the AVP theme song. Uncounted thousands of people have heard this song and sung it together, especially in prisons where AVP has mostly been taught for half a century. I sang this song in 2004 in the 'flagship' US maximum security prison in Leavenworth, Kansas during Peacemaking and Conflict Transformation (PACT), a White House funded project that I originated and organized using AVP and Diné (Navajo) methods.
“It IS in every one of us .. to be wise. .. to find your heart .. to open up both your eyes” This condition has ever plagued humanity: .. the inability to connect the head & hands with the heart (becomes so easily hard-hearts) .. closed-eyes (chosen-blindness .. willful ignorance .. conscious incompetence) On “wisdom” .. .. there is human wisdom .. there is Divine wisdom God’s wisdom bestows Peace .. and leads to well-being
Have you ever read the book of Proverbs in the Bible? It begins by saying that this book is "for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for aquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young." As you read further it tells us that "the fear of the Lord (a loving reverence of God that includes submission to his lordship and to the commands of his word) is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10
I first heard this song August 1993 at the end of a 35 hour intensive known as "The Life Training Weekend"... I remember sobbing; I could barely stand... "It's In Everyone of Us" was the perfect song at the perfect moment... Thank you...🙏💛🙏
David, as a singer I humbly applaud you. Thank you for keeping up your voice for this beautiful song. You are even singing it in the same key! Inspiring!
thank you so much for this beautiful and heartfelt song. It was introduced to me and 1,000 other people in this healing workshop I did back in the 80's. Just fabulous and so needed to hear over and over again for all of us
This was the theme song at a powerful retreat I attended 25 years ago, and it always carried such power for me. But this video is absolutely wonderful! thank you!!!
Yes, a great message! Especially in the light of what wisdom is: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Book of Proverbs in the Bible
Ahhhh..so beautiful, so enlivening, so uplifting. I bought your very first version to play in my courses, and still play that, with the fade-in fade out of eyes, and I can recognize some of them here, once again. I LOVE how you sing this version, and the visuals that have been put together. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this blessing.
Это Божественно,David!Моё искреннее восхищение услышать(как в Библии:"Имеющий уши да услышит")и увидеть, как поёт Ваше Любящее Сердце ❤,Ваша Чистая Душа!Наша Миссия будить Души людей,чтобы мы вспомнили о своём Божественном происхождении,научились понимать и помогать друг другу!Вспомним прекрасные слова Вашего прославленного гитариста Хендрикса : "Когда Власть Любви превысит любовь к власти,на Земле воцарится Мир!"Вы спели о том же, - о Мудрости,присущей каждому человеку,каждой Душе,а мудрость это же ум сердца,когда все знания с любовью направлены на Добро!Будьте Благословенны!
That's my favourite version of this song. Both Freddie and Cliff were excellent and it's quite somber because I'm pretty sure it was Freddie's final public live performance.
Well I think the lyrics are, "open up both your eyes" but I confess I am deeply struck by your perception of it as "open above your eyes" = pineal gland!
This is great but it was much more powerful when we just saw the people's faces - it's a distraction from the message to have the singer in the middle of the screen hopping around.

Thank you for writing this beautiful song, first heard sung by John Denver. ❤
My favorite song in the whole world. Thank you, David, for this amazing gift to the people of this planet!
My Favorite song ever. I listen to this song anytime I want to get "grounded".

“It IS in every one of us .. to be wise.
.. to find your heart
.. to open up both your eyes”
This condition has ever plagued humanity:
.. the inability to connect the head & hands with the heart (becomes so easily hard-hearts)
.. closed-eyes (chosen-blindness .. willful ignorance .. conscious incompetence)
On “wisdom” ..
.. there is human wisdom
.. there is Divine wisdom
God’s wisdom bestows Peace .. and leads to well-being
What kind of spirituality is this? There is something incredibly sharp and precise about it.
It is Muppets spirituality.

Woke up with this song in my head this morning and loved finding this new video! Thank you, for the beautiful reminder to start my day.
this song always stuck in my head from a child
Pomo, what a joy to see and feel your ever present ability to move people...
Thank you, Ken. You were there at the start!
Thank you David and Tony and all! : ) Beautiful job! : )
This is as good as the 1988 version of Cliff Richards and Freddie Mercury :) Simply amazing to hear the original singer.. from 1975 with a new version
I was introduced to it by the Mary Travers album ofthe same name. Her vocal is straightforward and beautiful. What a song
Such deep and fond memories of singing this at the end of TCW services. I was honored to hear you sing it to us in person once. 🥰
So appropriate during these trial times
Incredible song. So beautiful. The perfect Xmas song. Much love David.
well done David. I love this song awesome
Beautiful and uplifting!
Love it! One of my fave tunes by one of my fave peeps! Congrats David!
John Denver version with the muppets still my favorite version

Wow! Such a great song and powerful vocal. Love everything you do, David.

Lembro da versão com o freddie mercury...
That's my favourite version of this song. Both Freddie and Cliff were excellent and it's quite somber because I'm pretty sure it was Freddie's final public live performance.
You haven't lost your vocal chops, David. WOuld appreciate some info on the video / images.
Where does John Denver fit into this since it was originally his song? The short version?
❤🌹
Can I please use this in our church's virtual worship (RUclips) this week?
🌊🕊🌊
Nice
A beautiful song!
You are blessed David in creating this inspiring song.
Thank you for sharing with me
find your heart open above your eyes...pineal gland?
Well I think the lyrics are, "open up both your eyes" but I confess I am deeply struck by your perception of it as "open above your eyes" = pineal gland!
@@kathydowning3141 hollies
If I'm right Freddie wrote this too
He did not.. He just performed it in 1988 with Cliff Richard
This is the song we sing every Sunday at church and I wish it was your voice not the remake we have with is horrible.
This is great but it was much more powerful when we just saw the people's faces - it's a distraction from the message to have the singer in the middle of the screen hopping around.
Wrong lyric
How so? How can it be the wrong lyrics when this is the guy who WROTE the song? Am I missing something?
