Текст песни Wasn't Born to Follow - The Monkees

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
That break the light up into colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time, I'll go and lay beside the legendary fountain
Till I see her form reflected in its clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready you may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our visions
Flow into one another

And I'll stay awhile and wonder at the mist that they've created
And lose myself within it, bends my mind and body
And I'll know at that moment as I stand at the cathedral
I will want to dive beneath the white cascading waters

She may beg and she may plead and she may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I'll lose that really have no value
Though I doubt that she will ever come to understand my meaning
In the end she'll surely know
I was not born to follow
