[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
(So we shout out)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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...
[Final]
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
