The River

You know a dream is like a river,
 everchanging 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 beside
 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.
 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
 but 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.
