The River

You know a dream is like a riverEver changin' as it flowsAnd a dreamer's just a vesselThat must follow where it goesTrying to learn from what's behind youAnd never knowing what's in storeMakes each day a constant battleJust to stay between the shores.. andI will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryLike a bird upon the windThese waters are my skyI'll never reach my destinationIf I never trySo I will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryToo many times we stand asideAnd let the waters slip away'Til what we put off 'til tomorrowHas now become todaySo don't you sit upon the shorelineAnd say you're satisfiedChoose to chance the rapidsAnd dare to dance the tide.. yesI will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryLike a bird upon the windThese waters are my skyI'll never reach my destinationIf I never trySo I will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryAnd there's bound to be rough watersAnd I know I'll take some fallsBut with the good Lord as my captainI can make it through them all.. yesI will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryLike a bird upon the windThese waters are my skyI'll never reach my destinationIf I never trySo I will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dryYes, I will sail my vessel'Til the river runs dry'Til the river runs dry
