        G             C       
Oh, I'd rather go and journey, 
           G                  C
where the diamond crescent's flowing and
G              C       
run across the valley, 
  G                C
beneath the sacred mountain and
D                        Dsus2 D
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  
And when it's time I'll go, 
            G            C
and wait beside a legendary fountain,
G               C              
till I see your form reflected 
G                 C
in it's clear and jeweled waters;
    D                     Dsus2   D
and if you think I'm ready
        C
You may lead me to the chasm, 
where the rivers of our vision,
     D         G     C   G   C
flow into one another 
 
G   C   G   C
 
       G       C           
I will want to die beneath, 
     G               C
the white cascading waters,
        G            C     
she may beg, she may plead, 
         G              C
she may argue with her logic;
    D                                 Dsus2   D
and mention all the things I'll lose
     C
That really have no value, 
in the end she will surely know,
  D              G
I wasn't born to follow
