Captain of My Soul
I am the maker of my fate, The captain of my soul,
I choose my path and the way; I choose to be in control.
I am the one who decides, what actions I will take,
No one else is responsible, For the choices I make.
Whether it's a yes or no, I am either good or bad,
I am the one to determine the life I'll have, happy or sad.
For I live with the result, of every choice I make,
I am responsible, For the damage I cause or break.
If I hurt myself or others, It is my choice to do so,
And I must accept the consequence of every action I sow.
I make the decisions, that shape my life every day,
I either grow and prosper or stumble and fall along the way.
So, I embrace my power, to choose and take control For I am the master of my fate, The captain of my soul.
