Not the Captain of my Fate

Thought I was in love for just a minute

All the passion and a desire to commit

I’m not the kind who says, “Love it or leave it.”

Did I appear foolish from where I sit?

That elusive prize that squirms away

From my grasp on any given day

God, please bring me love from where I lay

To just allow happiness a pleasant stay,

The laws of attraction could they be real

They don’t seem to coincide with the way I feel

Guess I lost my mojo and appeal

People today eyes of hardened steel,

I sense I’m not the captain of my fate

These things I understand as of late

How to reach heaven’s gate

Maybe it’s due to my sinful traits,

Count me out of the satanic mass

On all unconstitutional taxes I’ll pass

All the deceivers who live to harass

Wishing you abusers were all out of gas,

Here I am on my own again

Always was just looking for a friend

All those wounds in life that need to mend

Could salvation be just around the bend?
