You know a dream is a like a river

Ever changing as it flows

And the dreamer's just a vessel

That must follow where it goes

Trying to learn from what's behind you

Never knowing what's 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

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

Let the waters slip away

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow

It 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



Chorus



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



Chorus
