about

BEHIND THE SONG: "Written with my friend, John Hadley. I pictured it in Africa, but it could also apply to West Virginia. Or anywhere in North or South America. Or the land of Canaan. Or the planet Earth. You get the idea." ~ David Olney

lyrics

No Trace written by David Olney and John Hadley (Red Lilly Music, ASCAP; Hadley Six Music, BMI)

I have come from far away
From far away I've come
From out beyond the mountains
Past where the rivers run
I am here to speak my mind
To speak my mind I'm here
If you'd like to listen
Won't you gather near
Gather near
Gather near

There's a world beyond this place
A world you've never seen
Cities full of people
People full of dreams
They can build a bridge of steel
And roads across this land
Someday they may come here
Just because they can
Because they can
Because they can

If they come there's something
You're going to need to know
What you want to keep
And what you're willing to let go
Some will try to buy and sell
The smile upon your face
The life that you have always known
Could vanish with no trace
With no trace
With no trace

I have come from far away
From far away I've come
