Though I'd rather go and journey   Where the diamond crescents, glowing   Run across the valleys   Beneath the sacred mountain      And wander through the forest   Where the trees of leaves are prisms   That break the light of day into colors   No one knows the names of      And when it's time   I go and wait beside   A legendary fountain   'Til I see your form reflected   In its clear and jeweled water      And if you think I'm ready   You may lead me to the chasm   Where the rivers of our vision   Flow into one another      And I'll stay awhile and wonder at   The myths that they've created   And lose myself within it   Cleanse my mind and body      And I know at the moment   As I stand in that cathedral   I will want to dive in   The white cascading water, water, water      He may beg and he may plead   And he may argue with his logic   He can mention all the things I'll lose   That really have no value      Though I doubt that he will ever come   To understand my meaning   In the end he'll surely know   I was not born to follow      I was not born to follow   I wasn't born to follow, no, no   I wasn't born to follow      I wasn't born to follow, no, no   I wasn't born to follow
