John Kay Captian Of Your Destiny Lyrics

Captian Of Your Destiny Lyrics

Words and Music by John Kay and Morgan Cavett







Now when you're down and troubled



Like orphan in a storm



And you feel life's weight upon you



Your body's cold and worn



You know that there's no mercy 



For a child without a home



For the streets they hold no comfort



For a nameless soul unknown







And your life it lies before you



Like a rainbow 'round the sun



And the promised they made to you



They always seem to get undone







You're fighting waves of vast indifference



On the high and raging sea



You are the captain of your destiny



Nobody else can find the way for you to see







When you can't see the way before you



For the darkness in your head



Remember only you can lead yourself to be misled







I'm standing by the wayside



With all my scars from time



Reading books of long gone heroes



Who died between the lines



I climb their walls of anger



They build with words of stone



Fighting on with tongue and dagger



'Til blood and truth are shown
