[Verse 1]
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]
G C Lat da dat da, Lah da-ah da da, da C G 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
