Lyrics
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water when there is no pebble tossed nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup is empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known, there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road...no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one can follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water when there is no pebble tossed nor wind to blow
You can choose to lead or follow
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
