Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Ripple lyrics

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

And there's a road

No simple highway

Between the dawn

And the dark of night

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 all alone

If you should stand

Who's to guide you?

If I knew the way

I would take you home
