Paragraph Lyric
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and
Wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and   Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and   Wander through the forest    Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors   That no one knows the names of       And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain   Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters   And if you think I'm ready   You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision   Flow into one another       I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters   She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic   And then she'll know the things I learned   That really have no value in the end she will surely know   I wasn't born to follow
