Oh I'd	rather go and	journey where the	diamond crests are	flowing and

	G	C	G	C
	Run across the	valley be	neath the sacred	mountains

	D
and	Wander through the forest

	C
Where the	trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors

	D	G		C		G		C
That	no-one knows the	names of.

	G	C	G	C
And	when it's time I'll	go and wait bes	ide a legend	ary fountain

	G	C	G	C
	Till I see your	form reflected	in it's clear and	jeweled water

	D
And	if you think I'm ready

	C
You may	lead me to the castles where the rivers of our vision

	D	G		C		G		C
Flow	into one an	other.

	I will want to	die beneath the	white cascading	waters

She may	beg she may	plead she may	argue with her	logic

	D
And	then she'll know the things I lose

	C
That	really have no value in the end she will surely know

I	wasn't born to fol	low.
