John Kay - Nothing But lyrics
Words and Music by John Kay They say that true paradise lies in the heart of man That maybe so, but I'm ready once more To run for the cover of my secret hiding place Where I can burn all the memories of war Sometimes it's mountains lakes, high in the Sierras Sometimes the peaceful shore of Hana Bay And I'll take you with me to share every moment If you will just promise to do what I say: Bring nothing but silence Show nothing but grace Seek nothing but shelter From the great human race Take nothing but pictures Kill nothing but time Leave nothing but footprints To show you came by So very few places that man hasn't scarred Taken for granted or taken in vain I wonder, my child as we lie here beneath the stars What will be left for your children to claim Maybe someday you'll be walking on Venus Maybe some day you may live in the sea Remember I taught you to love Mother Nature For it was she who once gave you to me 1977 Rambunctious Music (ASCAP) |
