| RIPPLE (Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia)
If my words did sing with the voice of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come thru the music
Would you hold it close as if it was your own?
Itís a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps itís better left unsaid
And I donít know, donít really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple is still water
Where 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 hand of man
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn & dark of night
And where you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall, you fall alone
If you should stand, then whoís to guide you?
If I know the way, I would take you home
For classroom use only.
