You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind him
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.
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.
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
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.
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry.
