Verse` 1
G C
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
C G
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
G C
Would you hear my voice come through the music
C G D C G
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
Verse 2
G C
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
C G
Perhaps they're better left unsung
G C
I don't know, don't really care
G D C G
Let there be songs to fill the air
(Chorus)
Am D
Ripple in still water
G C
When there is no pebble tossed
A D
Nor wind to blow
Verse 3
G C
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
C G
If your cup is full may it be again
G C
Let it be known there is a fountain
G D C G
That was not made by the hands of men
Verse 4
G C
There is a road, no simple highway
C G
Between the dawn and the dark of night
G C
And if you go no one may follow
G D C G
That path is for your steps alone
(Chorus)
Verse 5
G C
You who choose to lead must follow
C G
But if you fall you fall alone
G C
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
G D C G
If I knew the way I would take you home
