You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.

Makes each day a constant battle
A D
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

So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied
D A D
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.
