The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers(1968)
Wasn't Born to Follow (Carole King/Gerry Goffin) - 2:03
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing 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 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 die beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow.

"And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value"
In this version of the song the lyrics are actually:
"And mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value"
I have yet to hear a version with your lyrics, it may just be a common misinterpretation of the lyrics.

all that nostalgia to a timeperiod in expression that was just as underground as the scenes where the interesting music/movies/art of today come from.. in another fourty years we'll be reading comments like oh, i miss how great the songs and lyrics were back at the beginning of the new century.. anyways.. great tune from an epic movie..

I don't understand how people can like music made today, and how they don't realize how great songs and lyrics were in the '60s
