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
