Ever Changing As It Flows
Rocky Mountain National Park…Estes Park, Colorado
The River
by Garth Brooks
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…yes
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
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…yes
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
Yes, I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
‘Til the river runs dry

Karin Taylor
Choose to chance the rapids…...And dare to dance the tide
I love the words in this song, especially those above, they conjure up images in my minds eye of someone spinning and pirhouetting in a sea of veils, all that is joyful, all that is good… choose to shoot the rapids, choose to move on….always a difficult choice, but always worth it in the measure of growth to one’s wisdom and stretching, moulding and shaping of one’s character, Jan i love your beautiful scene, married with the words in the text of the song, it is imbued with meaning and life!
Jan Landers replied
hi, karin…..and thank you….for feeling it….
