"The River"
Here is the whole of Garth Brooks song 'The River' (see top right of blog front page). I love the words of this song because it reminds me to take risks with God, to live by faith, to chase my dreams... It is so easy to have a dream and to let time just slip away and to never do anything about it. When I chose this poem for my blogpage, the site I got it from hadn't put the last verse. It is apt then that I chose it, as it talks about the Lord being the Captain.
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' 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
'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
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
Chorus
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all
Chorus
