Leave No Trace
Mark Elliott & Jerry Vandiver
Beyond the signs and the tire tracks
Past the point where I don’t look back
There’s a place that calls to me
Where the wind and water speaks
Keep it wild, leave it free
For those who walk here after me
From the desert sands to the glacier lakes
I’ll make my mark and leave no trace
I see this place just like a child
It’s as fragile as it is wild
It’s in my care but I believe
I need it more than it needs me, so I
Keep it wild, leave it free
For those who walk here after me
From the desert sands to the glacier lakes
I’ll make my mark and leave no trace
I can give or I can take
The choice is mine to make
Repeat Chorus
