The River - Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river

Ever changin as it flows

And a dreamers 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 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

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

And theres 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
