Wasn't born to follow

1. Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing,
D G D G
and run across the valley beneath the sacred
mountains,
A

and wander thru
the forest where the trees
have leaves of prisims,
A D - G-D-G
and
break the light in colors, that no-one knows the names of.
D G D G
2. And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain,
D G D G
till I see your form reflected in it's clear
and jeweled water.
A
~ G
And if you think I'm
ready, you may lead me to the
castles,
A D - G - D - G
where the rivers of our vision flow into
one another.

3. I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters,
D G D G
she may beg, she may plead, she may argue with
her logic,
A ~ G
and mention all the things I
lose, that really have no value,
A D -G-D-G-D-G-D
in the end she will surely know I wasn't born
to follow.
