The River Lyrics

You know a dream is like a river

 Ever changin' 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 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...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
