The River

You know a dream is like a river ever changin' as it flows.
And the 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 'till the river runs dry.

Too many times we stand aside and let the water 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.

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 'till the river runs dry.

Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away
'Till what we've put off till 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.

Well 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 till 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.
Yes I will sail my vessel 'till the River runs dry.
