The River

You know a dream is like a river  
Ever changin' as it flows  
And a dreamer's just a vessel  
That must follow where it goes  
Trying to learn from what's behind you  
And never knowing what's in store  
Makes each day a constant battle  
Just to stay between the shores...and 

I will sail my vessel  
'Til the river runs dry  
Like a bird upon the wind  
These waters are my sky  
I'll never reach my destination  
If I never try  
So I will sail my vessel  
'Til the river runs dry  
  
Too many times we stand aside  
And let the waters slip away  
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow  
Has now become today  
So don't you sit upon the shoreline  
And say you're satisfied  
Choose to chance the rapids  
And dare to dance the tide...yes  

I will sail my vessel  

'Til the river runs dry  
Like a bird upon the wind  
These waters are my sky  
I'll never reach my destination  
If I never try  
So I will sail my vessel  
'Til the river runs dry  
.  
And there's bound to be rough waters  

And I know I'll take some falls  
But with the good Lord as my captain                                                                      
I can make it through them all...yes  

I will sail my vessel  

'Til the river runs dry  
Like a bird upon the wind  
These waters are my sky  
I'll never reach my destination  
If I never try  
So I will sail my vessel  
'Til the river runs dry  
 Yes, I will sail my vessel  

'Til the river runs dry  
'Til the river runs dry
