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 along
I raised the anchor of my soul
Cause I need to break free
Before I get old

(So we shout out)

Oh captain, Oh my captain
I'm gonna wade in the water
I'll be washed by new tears
They'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
