♫ Verse 1:
A
No I'd rather go and journey
A
Where the diamond crescents flowing
A
And run across the valley
A
Beneath the sacred mountain
A
And wander through the forest
A
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
E
That make the light up into colors
A
That no one know the names of
♫ Verse 2:
A
And when it's time I'll go and lay
A
Beside the legendary fountain
A
Till I see her form reflected
A
In its clear and gentle waters
A
And if you think I'm ready
A
You may lead me to the chasm
E E7
Where the rivers of our visions
E A
Flow into one another
♫ Verse 3:
A
And I'll stay awhile and wonder
A
At the mist that they created
A
And lose myself within it
A
Cleanse my mind and body
A
And I know at that moment
A
As I stand in that cathedral
E
I will want to dive
A
Beneath the white cascading water

A
She may beg and she may plead
A
And she may argue with her logic
A
Mention all the things I'll lose
A
That really have no value
A
Tho' I doubt that she will ever
A
Come to understand the meaning
E
In the end she'll surely know
A
I was not born to follow
