The River You know a dream is like a river Everchanging as it flows And the 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... " lyrics by Victoria Shaw & Garth Brooks "
