    Verse 1

    GIf my words did glow with the gold of Csunshine

    CAnd my tunes were played on the harp unstGrung

    GWould you hear my voice come through the Cmusic?

    CWould you Ghold it Dnear Cas it were your Gown?

    Verse 2

    GIt's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are Cbroken

    CPerhaps they're better left unGsung

    GI don't know, don't really Ccare

    GLet there be Dsongs Cto fill the Gair

    Chorus

    AmRipple in still Dwater

    When there Gis no pebble Ctossed

    Nor Awind to Dblow

    Verse 3

    Reach out your Ghand, if your cup be Cempty

    CIf your cup is full, may it be agaGin

    GLet it be known there is a Cfountain

    GThat was not Dmade Cby the hands of Gmen

    Verse 4

    GThere is a road, no simple Chighway

    CBetween the dawn and the dark of Gnight

    GAnd if you go, no one may Cfollow

    GThat path is Dfor Cyour steps Galone

    Chorus

    AmRipple in still Dwater

    When there Gis no pebble Ctossed

    Nor Awind to Dblow

    Verse 5

    You who Gchoose to lead must Cfollow

    CBut if you fall you fall alGone

    GIf you should stand then who's to Cguide you?

    GIf I knew the Dway CI would take you Ghome

    Outro
