G C

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

C G

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

G C

Would you hear my voice come through the music

C G D C G

Would you hold it near as it were your own?

[Verse 2]

G C

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

C G

Perhaps they're better left unsung

G C

I don't know, don't really care

G D C G

Let there be songs to fill the air

[Chorus]

Am D

Ripple in still water

G C

When there is no pebble tossed

A D

Nor wind to blow

[Verse 3]

G C

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty

C G

If your cup is full may it be again

G C

Let it be known there is a fountain

G D C G

That was not made by the hands of men

Verse 4

G C

There is a road, no simple highway

C G

Between the dawn and the dark of night

G C

And if you go no one may follow

G D C G

That path is for your steps alone

[Chorus]

Am D

Ripple in still water

G C

When there is no pebble tossed

A D

Nor wind to blow

[Verse 5]

G C

You who choose to lead must follow

C G

But if you fall you fall alone

G C

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

G D C G

If I knew the way I would take you home

[Outro Verse]

Lat da dat da, Lah da-ah da da, da

La da da, la da, da da da-ah, da da

G C

Lat da dat da, Lah da-ah da da, da

G D C G

La da da da, Lah da da da da
