lyrics

The Captain

Close your eyes
look inside
fight the fear
don’t hide
you made a choice
to be the best
that you can be

Have faith
in your way
rocky times
you’re gonna face
but there ain’t nothing
your mind
cannot achieve
You hear the see calling
honour your gift
it’s time to cast
your sails out
into the wind

Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain

A time to reap
a time to sow
a time to stop
a time to go
a time to let
all of the growing happen slow
Spirituality, god almighty
or whatever you may consider
that to be

I pray for peace
but if there’s war
you must understand
what you’re fighting for
not be deluded by the greed
or the insane

Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain

If you feel your ship’s in danger
grab onto the rail
the storm erupts a mighty wave
that crashes on the bow
The sails are beating
mastery it calls
to your avail
Find the courage
to keep an even keel
and sail another day
another day

Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain
