Wasn't Born to Follow Songtext

von The Byrds

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Wasn't Born to Follow" von "The Byrds" handelt von der Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und dem Drang, den eigenen ...

Oh, I′d rather go on journey
Where the diamond crest is glowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest

Where the 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 jewelled 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 mention the things I′ll lose
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn′t born to follow
