Nothing But

...

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

From the 1997 release "The Lost Heritage Tapes"
