The River
.
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
.
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
.
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
When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warmer embrace To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met There's no doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling down the avenue There ain't nothing' that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea And on the highway of regret The winds of change are blowing wild and free You ain't see nothin' like me yet
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy make your dreams come true To make you feel me love
