Captain of My Life

Captain of My Life
I've stood at starboard bow
Thinking how beautiful the waves
I've lingered at the stern
Where I have yearned to return the way I came
I have toiled down below
In the dark and cold
When these hands were made to row

I've been atop the mast
Holding fast and looking out ahead
But I've been unconcerned
And never learned where this ship was led
Now on every side I see
What I've never seen
Such a storm surrounding me

This ship could be going down
And I see no sign of ground
Will I be, before I drown
The captain of my life?

I can do many things
And many things I've done since I began
But fear has sailed with me
And crippled me from taking the command
Now despair is in the hold
As the water rolls
Fear is waiting for my soul

This ship could be going down
And I see no sign of ground
Will I be, before I drown
The captain of my life?
