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 jeweled 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
2x
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
