LYRICS
Covered people pray
Fearful of the day
Changes can be made
Lovers can be saved
All of us are captains of our fate
Learned men converse
On the sacred earth
Guided by their fear
Lost to every tear
All of us are captains of our fate
All of us are captains of our fate
Captains lead the way
Stand and face the day
All of us are captains of our fate
All of us are captains of our fate
All of us are captains of our fate
All of us are captains of our fate
