The River--Garth Brooks



You know a drean is like a river

Ever changing 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





Chorus:

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 tommorow

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...yes





Repeat Chorus





And 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





Repeat Chorus





Yes, I will sail my vessel

'Til the river runs dry

'Til the river runs dry
