Lead Not Follow

you and me

swim upstream

against the flow we go

like salmon swim

to mountain tops

it's the only thing we know

neon lights

and big city streets

along in you grows

we drag the brush

as time goes on

winding trails of blue

for those to see

the paths we took

to make a dream come true

neon lights

and these city streets

your presence overdue

we lead not follow

and that's hard to do

when no one follows you

with nothing new

we will pretend

invent our world again

the neon lights

how they shined for you

they'll shine for others too

we lead not follow

and the aim was true

and so they followed you

they followed you
