The River Songtext
von 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
Never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores

I will sail my vessel
Till 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
Till the river runs dry


Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
Till what we put off till 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
Till 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
Till 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
Till the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
