If my words did glow   With the gold of sunshine   And my tunes were played   On the harp unstrung      Would you hear my voice   Come through the music?   Would you hold it near   As it were your own?      There is a road, no simple highway   Between the dawn and the dark of night   And if you go, no one may follow   That path is for your steps alone      Ripple in still water   When there is no pebble tossed   Nor wind to blow      It's a hand-me-down   The thoughts are broken   Perhaps they're better left unsung   I don't know, don't really care   Let there be songs to fill the air      Ripple in still water   When there is no pebble tossed   Nor wind to blow      You who choose to lead must follow   But if you fall, you fall alone   If you should stand then who's to guide you?   If I knew the way I would take you home
