Where nature takes its course

Bound with a wild and restless drive
       G    C
That pulls me from within

In a land that tested Eskimos

Ten thousand years before

In the tracks of animals

I will leave my footprints there
     G     C
To lie beneath the snow

I will hear it sing
  C    ~   Am

The river is the melody
      G   C
