Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence, caused such silence Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it’s not me It’s not my family In your head, in your head, they are fighting With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head they are crying
In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie What’s in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh
Do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do
Another mother’s breaking Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken
It’s the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head, they are dying
In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie What’s in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ay, oh, ya ya

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
This song was released in April 1992 as the fifth and final single from the album. It became his ninth number-one hit on the Billboard country charts in late 1992.
According to Garth Brooks, James Taylor—his childhood hero—was an inspiration for writing “The River”. Victoria Shaw recalled, “We were blank, so blank. And so finally, he said, ‘You know what? Let’s just take a break. What are you listening to on the stereo?’ And I had just bought this new James Taylor CD, so I put it on and were just listening to it, and it got us in a mood.”
Garth Brooks wrote about this song in the liner notes of his album “The Hits”, “It is a song of inspiration… a song that I will be proud of a hundred years from now. Victoria Shaw is a wonderful writer and a wonderful friend. And this is what happens when two dreamers get together and write from the heart.”
This track is also included on three albums that have sold more than ten million copies each in the US: “Ropin’ The Wind”, “The Hits” and “Double Live”.
