The River Lyrics

The River--Garth Brooks

You know a drean is like a river
Ever changing 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


Chorus:
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 tommorow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline 
And say your satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids 
And dare to dance the tide...yes


Repeat Chorus


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


Repeat Chorus


Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry
