Wasnt Born To Follow

The Byrds Wasn't Born To Follow written by Carol King/Gerry Goffin

Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing and

Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountains and

Wander thru the forest

Where the trees have leaves of prisims 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 water

And if you think I'm ready

You may lead me to the castles where the rivers of our vision

Flow into one another

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 lose

That really have no value in the end she will surely know

I wasn't born to follow
