You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin as it flows
And a dreamers just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from whats behind you
And never knowing whats in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.

(chorus)
And I will sail my vessel
til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
Ill 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 dont you sit upon the shoreline
And say youre satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.

*chorus*
And theres bound to be rough waters
And I know Ill take some falls
But with the good lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.

*chorus*
Yes, I will sail my vessel
til the river runs dry
til the river runs dry
