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
