The Grateful Dead - Ripple
If my words did glow
with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played
on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come
through the music
Would you hold it near
as it were your own
It's a hand me down
the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know
don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand
if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may
it be again
Let it be known
there is a fountain
That was not made
by the hands of men
There is a road
no simple highway
Between the dawn
and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead
must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then
who's to guide you
If I knew the way
I would take you home
