Scotty McCreery - The River (American Idol Performance) lyrics

You know a dream 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 I will sail my vessel Till the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky And 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 'til tomorrow It has now become today So don't you sit upon the shorelines 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 Till the river runs dry There's bound to be rough waters And I know I'll take some falls With the good Lord as my cap'n I can make it through them all And I will sail my vessel Till the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky And 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
