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)
