Wasn't Born to Follow by The Byrds

Oh, 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
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 waters
And if you think I'm ready you may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision flow into one another

I will want to dive beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then mention all the things I'll lose that really have no value
In the end she will surely know I wasn't born to follow
