[D] [C] [G]
If my words did glow with the [C] gold of sunshine, and my tunes were played on the harp of [G] strong,
would you hear my voice come [C] through the music?
Would you [G] hold [D] it near [C] as if it were [G] your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thought [C]-bloods are broken,
perhaps they're better left [G] unsung.
I don't know, don't [C] really care,
[G]
let there be [D] songs [C]
to fill the [G] air.
[Am] Rippled in [D] still water,
when [G] there is no [F#] pebble [C] tossed,
[A] nor wind too [D] low to reach out your [G] hand.
If your cup [C] be empty,
if your cup is full,
may it be [G] again, let it be known,
[A] there [C] is a fountain that [G] was not [D] made [C] by the hands of [G] man.
There is a road, no [C] simple highway,
between the dawn and the dark of night,
and if you go, no [C] one may follow,
[G] that [D] path is for [C]
your steps [G] alone.
[F#] [Am] Rippled in [D] still water,
when [F#] [G] there is no pebble [C]
tossed,
[A] nor wind too [D] low you [G] choose to
[Em] [C] lead, must follow,
but if you fall, you fall [G] alone.
If you should stand, [Bm] then who's [C] to guide you?
[G] If I knew [D] the way, [C] I would take you [G] home.
