Sail my vessel til the river runs dry

The river by Garth Brooks

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 

Like a bird upon the wind 

I'll never reach my destination 

Too many times we stand aside 

And let the waters slip away 

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow 

So don't you sit upon the shoreline 

Choose to chance the rapids 

And dare to dance the tide.. yes 

Like a bird upon the wind 

I'll never reach my destination 

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 

Like a bird upon the wind 

I'll never reach my destination 

Yes, I will sail my vessel
