Wasn't Born To Follow Lyrics - Roger Mcguinn

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
