The Captain Of My Soul Lyrics

Lot of stuff going on out there today

Hey, these days ain't like they were before

What was black and white are now shades of gray

And it's hard to find the truth anymore

Depending on who, what, where and why

And how well I play out my role

It's a lot of hard work to get by

To be the

Captain of my Soul

The Captain of my Soul

Every day brings obstacles and fences

Slowing me down

While challenging me

And with decisions come consequences

Making me struggle

For who and what I hope to be

And it's so hard to break loose and step away

From bad habits trying to maintain control

While personal demons work to stop or delay

Me being

The Captain of my Soul

The Captain of my Soul

And seems when I'm least prepared

They call to me

Like when I'm occupied

Living the blues

And it's tough to escape

The cycle and be free

When I'm feeling like

I got nothing to lose

Sometimes I feel my chances of escaping are bleak

Thinking about the power of that trivial, little sin

That's always chipping away on where it knows I am weak

While I'm distracted all about and within

But I'm relatively okay

I'm trying to stand large

As I strive to do the right thing as a whole

And it's important to me to be the one in charge

And be the

Captain of my Soul

The Captain of my Soul

The Captain of my Soul
