I'm the captain of my soul
I'm the captain of my soul
I ain't got no mercy for my bones
I will sail my ocean all alone
It's true
I saw sirens
I saw ghosts
And all the children
In my boat
I fight for glory
Not for hope
And I need to let out these words
From my throat
(So you shout it)
I'm the captain of my soul
I'm the captain of my soul
I ain't got no mercy for my bones
I will sail my ocean all alone
It's true
I saw wailers
I heard songs
Melodies of wisdom
For us to sing alone
I raised the anchor
Of my soul
'Cause I need to break free
Before I get old
Oh captain oh my captain
I'm gonna wade in the water
I'll be washed by new tears
Theu'll save me from my fears
I'm the captain of my soul
I'm the captain of my soul
I ain't got no mercy for my bones
I will sail my ocean all alone
It's true
I'm the captain of my heart
I'm the captain of my life
I'm the captain of my whole
I'm the captain, the captain of my soul.
