You know a dream is like a river Ever changing as it flows And the dreamer's just the vessel That must follow where it goes Trying to from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores.
(chorus) An d I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try 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 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 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 rough waters And I know I'll take some falls But 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 sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry.
Yes, I sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry
