[G] [C#] [G]
[C] [D]
You know a dream is like a river, [Am] ever [G] changing as it flows
[A] And the [G] dreamer's [D] just a vessel [F#] that must [E] follow where he [A] goes
Trying [D] to learn from [G] what's [D] behind him [Bm] And never knowing what's in [G] store
[D] Makes each day a constant battle just [A] to stay between [D] the shores
I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
Like [G] a bird upon the [D] wind, [E] these waters are [A] my sky
I'll [D] never reach my destination [G] if I never try
So I will [D] sail my vessel [A] till the river [D] runs [Dm] dry
[D]
Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away
[G] But what we put off till [D] tomorrow [F#m] [Em] has now become [A] today
So don't [D] you sit [G] upon [D] the shoreline and [Bm] say you're [G] satisfied
[D] Choose [G] to chance [D] the rapids [A] and dare to dance [D] that [G] tide
[D] I will sail my vessel [G] till the river [D] runs dry
Like [G] a bird upon the [D] wind, [Em] these waters are [A] my sky
I'll [D] never reach my destination [G] if I never try
So I [D] will sail my vessel [A] till the river [D] runs dry
[C#m] [Bm] There's bound to [G] be rough waters and I [D] know I'll [G] take some faults
[Em] If the good Lord has [D] my cap [G] I can make it through them [A] all
Yes I will [Bm] sail [E] my vessel [N]
till the river runs dry
Like a [E] bird [G#] upon the wind, these waters [D] are my sky
I'll never reach [G] my [D] destination [G] if I never try
So I [D] will sail my vessel [A] till the river runs [D] [G] dry
Yes I [D] will sail my vessel [A] till the river runs [D] dry
