[Verse 1]
RE SOL RE
You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
SOL RE/FA# MIm LA
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes

Trying to learn from what's behind him
SIm SOL
And never knowing what's in store
RE
Makes each day a constant battle
LA RE
Just to stay between the shores
chorus
RE SOL RE
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
SOL RE/FA# MIm LA
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
RE SOL
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
RE LA RE
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
[Verse 2]
RE SOL RE
Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away
SOL MIb/FA# MIm LA
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today
RE SIm SOL
So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied
RE LA RE
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.
chorus
RE SOL RE
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.

But with the good Lord as my captain

I can make it through them all
