[Cm]
[D]
[G]
You know a dream is like a river, [C] ever changing as it [G] flows
[A] And a [Cm] dream is just a [G] vessel that [Am] must follow where it [D] goes
Trying [C] to learn from what's [G] behind you, [Em] never knowing what's in [C] store
Makes each day a constant battle, just [G] to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel, [C] till the river runs [G] dry
[C] Like a bird upon the
[G] wind, [Am] these waters [A] are my sky
[Am] I'll never [D] reach my [G] destination, [C] if I [A] never try
So I [C] will sail my vessel, [G]
[D] till the river runs [G] dry
Many times we stand aside, and [Cm] let the water [G] slip away
[C] Till we put off till [G] tomorrow, what has [A] now [D] become today
So don't [G] you sit upon the shoreline, and [C] say you're satisfied
[G] Truth, a chance, the [C] rub is, [G] and here to dance or die
And I will sail my vessel, [C] till the river runs [G]
dry
Like [C] a bird upon the [G] wind, [Am] these waters are my [D] sky
I'll never [G] reach my destination, [C] if I never try
So I will sail my vessel, till the [G] river runs dry
[Em]
[C]
[G]
[A] With the good Lord [Am] as my captain, [G] I can make [C] him to [D] him home
I [A] [D]
[A] will sail [F#] my vessel, till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind, [Gm] these waters are [E] my sky
I'll [A] never reach my destination, if I never try
So I will sail [D]
my [A] vessel, till the river runs dry
I will sail my vessel, till the river runs dry
