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 '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 water slip away. To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today. So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.

Prepare to meet (sisters, brothers) the brash and terrible weather; the pains; the bruising; the collapse of bestials, idols.

|
Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt Drag out to their last dregs and I resume...

|
A dryness is upon the house My father loved and tended.

|
I've stayed in the front yard all my life. I want a peek at the back...

|
With the narcotic milk of peace for men Who find Thy beautiful center ...

|
To be in love Is to touch with a lighter hand. In yourself you stretch, you are well.

|
Come live with me, and be my love,And we will some new pleasures proveOf golden sands, and crystal brooks,With silken lines, and silver hooks.

Cold an old predicament of the breath: Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete, Accept the university of death.
