The River

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows

And a dream is 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 water slip away

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow, that has now become today

So don't you sit up on the shoreline, 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

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
