Harris Hobby songs

This one's about "going for" your dream(s). As with many of my songs, the weakness may be it builds too slowly. On this one the music is simple. What I'm trying with the vocal may not be working... The vocal is virtually spoken the first verse. The character begins to sing "tentatively" on the second verse. Then, becomes more "committed/heartfelt" as he begins to go from thinking about it to going for it. Finally, pulls back at end as he reaccesses things once he has achieved his "dream". Where does he go from there? Not sure this works. Should probably take out second verse. Ideas?

River of Promises

River of Promises.River of Hope.Paradise is waiting for meOn the other side.

And, I can almost feel it now.I can almost taste it now.River of Promises.River of Hope.

For years and years, it’s filled my heartWith it’s silver dreams.Now, the time has come to take my chancesWith it’s cold, dark streams.

As I wade in,I hold my breathMainly out of fear.Thinking only of the distant shorelineGrowing slowly near.

River of Promises.River of Hope.Paradise is waiting for meOn the other side..And, I can almost feel it now.I can almost taste it now.River of Promises.River of Hope.

I’m swimming.Swimming against the currents.I’m fighting.Fighting against the tide.I’m a stranger in a strange land.

River of Promises.River of Hope.
