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)
