Tracks - Carrie Newcomer

Be careful when you walk down my street

The wolves are gathering there

And the hungry one will eat the wolves

When there’s nothing but wolves to fear

You come talking light, but you come walking dark

The truth of your actions show the secrets of your heart

We shall surely be known forever by the tracks we leave

Everything that’s done gets done in a circle

Everything that’s hidden is brought to the light

When wisdom speaks, close your mouth and listen

When something’s wrong, then makes it right

We shall surely be known forever by the tracks we leave

Another species dies, and no one hears its wail

And an innocent is lost when the system fails

One finger can’t lift a single stone

Hand in Hand we’ve always known

We shall surely be known forever by the tracks we leave
