I christen myself captain of my own ship.
I dance my own dance, waltz through my own world.
Feelings well up inside of me. I explore my own mind.
I go my own way, determined to live free or die.
I live a good life.
I'm happy?in a way.
For no one knows the inner workings of my mind.
No one can truly share the joys of my discoveries.
My own life can be a lonely place sometimes.
Sometimes I want something more,
More than just my own self.
They say that there's someone who knows,
Knows everything about me personally.
Already has made the exploration,
Already knows the dance,
Already felt my joys and pains.
He offers companionship and a sanctuary from the storms.
Love unconditionally.
But such love has a price.
Am I willing to pay?
I can never captain my own ship,
Dance my own dance, waltz alone through my own world.
Never again alone to explore my own path.
Can I share my own life with Love?
Can I choose my death over my freedom?
For this isn't an alliance, but a subjugation of my own will.
Lord, I know that I am willful and stubborn and rebellious.
But, I've never regretted handing over the ship to you.
Complete freedom looks attractive in theory
But never attains it's advertising in practice.
Now God captains my ship,
Leads me in the waltz through my world,
Guides me through the exploration of my mind,
Gives me complete freedom from the constraints of my life
And the parameters of this society.
