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