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
