You know a dream is like a river,
ever changing as it flows.
And the dreamer is 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 shore.
(chorus)
And I will sail my vessel,
until 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,
until the river runs dry.
Too many times we stand aside,
and let the water slip away...
To what we put off 'til tomorrow,
has now become today.
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
and say your satisfied,
Choose to chance the rapids,
and dare to dance the tide.
(chorus)
Theres bound to be rough waters,
and I know I'll take some falls.
With the good Lord as my captain,
I can make it thru them all.
