   G                                      C
1. If my words did glow, with the gold of sunshine
   G
   And my tunes, were played, on the harp unstrung
   C
   Would you hear my voice, come through the music?
   G       D     C               G
   Would you hold it near, as it were your own?

2. 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

   Am              D
R: Ripple in still water,
   G            C
   When there is no pebble tossed,
   A       D
   Nor wind to blow

3. 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

4. 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

R: Ripple in still water...

5. 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
