Intro: Instrumental Verse
G (2) C (2)
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine,
C (3) G
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
G (2) C (2)
would you hear my voice come through the music,
G D C G
would you hold it near as it were your own?
G (2) C (2)
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
C (3) G
perhaps they're better left unsung.
G (2) C (2)
I don't know, don't really care,
G D C G (2)
let there be songs to fill the air.
Chorus:
Am (2) D (2)
Ripple in still water,
G C
when there is no pebble tossed,
A7 D
nor wind to blow.
G (2) C (2)
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
C (3) G
if your cup is full may it be again.
G (2) C (2)
Let it be known there is a fountain,
G D C G
that was not made by the hands of men.
G (2) C (2)
There is a road, no simple highway,
C (3) G
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
G (2) C (2)
and if you go no one may follow,
G D C G (2)
that path is for your steps alone.
Chorus
G (2) C (2)
You who choose to lead must follow,
C (3) G
but if you fall you fall alone.
G (2) C (2)
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
G D C G
If I knew the way I would take you home.
