The Lemon Pipers - I Was Not Born To Follow lyrics

No I'd rather go and journey Where the diamond crescent's glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms That break the sight up into colors That no one know the names of And when it's time I'll go and lay Beside the legendary fountain Till I see her form reflected In its clear and gentle waters And if you think I'm ready You may lead me to the chasm Where the rivers of our visions Flow into one another And I'll stay awhile and wonder At the mist that they created And lose myself within it Cleanse my mind and body And I know at this moment As I stand in that cathedral I will want to dive Beneath the white cascading water She may beg and she may plead And she may argue with her logic Mention all the things I'll lose That really have no value Though I doubt that she will ever Come to understand my meaning In the end she'll surely know I was not born to follow
