Brilliant analysis Doug, but it's not simply about "Mother Nature"...there's more to it than that. This is why John Kay was such a master songwriter...the song had layers. Upon its simplest layer it's about a young, naive girl entering into the world of men and looking for at least "one good man" to step forward out of the bunch and guide her with Love and respect. However, there's also your much larger layer that references Mother Nature in her infancy with mankind. But ultimately, the song is at an even deeper level...and that is the SACRED FEMININE. The Earth, and many of man's most ancient realms were guided thru the wisdom of the sacred feminine (Ancient Egypt and Atlantis, if you are prepared to believe this truth). But after the great flood (approx. 10,000 years ago) the Male energy has slowly taken full control of this wondrous Earth to her full detriment.
John Kay was simply saying that what all of us needed then (even MORE relevant today) was a shift back to the Sacred Feminine, starting by listening and loving the female energy that is crying out for SINCERITY, COMPASSION, TOLERANCE and LOVE...all the things that this Corporate-owned world is not...
