LYRICS:
Standing here by the river of dreams
Ripples roll and rock my schemes
Dreams are free and I have one or two
I'm looking out for something new
Who knows where I'm going
Nowhere it seems
Standing here by the river of dreams

Standing here by the riverside
My heart is open I've nothing to hide
I let my spirit fly high and free
Searching for something I can't see
Who knows what I'll find there
Across the great divide
Standing here by the riverside

Dreams are caged within your soul
Set them free towards their goal

Standing here by the river today
I launch my dreams and then I pray
With misty eyes I watch them go
Some won't make it that I know
Which dreams fate will favour
No-one can say
Standing here by the river today

Dreams are caged within your soul
Set them free towards their goal

Standing here by the river of dreams
Ripples roll and rock my schemes
Dreams are free and I have one or two
I'm looking out for something new
Who knows where I'm going
Nowhere it seems
Standing here by the river of dreams
Who knows where I'm going
Nowhere it seems
Standing here by the river of dreams
