lyrics

I wasn’t born on easy street
I never knew if ends would meet
I watched my parents fight the Dole
And the pack of wolves howling at our door
Went to work, still just a lad
And the only tools I had
Were a sharpened mind
And two bare hands

It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me
It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean
I once thought I knew it all
Floating along on a flat calm
The North Atlantic sure cures you of that notion
Life’s an ocean

Second chances are rare and few
Working out on the big blue
Mind your ego and pride
Don’t keep you from your sleep at night
Can you handle what it takes?
Pull the lessons from your mistakes
Ghosts and the shame
Can you take the blame?

It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me
It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean
I once thought I knew it all
Floating along on a flat calm
The North Atlantic sure cures you of that notion
Life’s an ocean, yeah

It was a stormy sea that made the Captain that you see
I was a roving rogue on a wild ocean
I once thought I knew it all
Floating along on a flat calm
The North Atlantic sure cured me of that notion

It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me
It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean
I once thought I knew it all
Floating along on a flat calm
The North Atlantic sure cured me of that notion
Life’s an ocean

So be a Captain
Be a Captain
Oh, be a Captain
