I Am the Captain of My Fate
A Riff on Imagine Dragons' “Believer”
“I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea,
oh ooh
...The master of my sea...”
[My emphasis]:
I'M the ONE at the SAIL, I'M THE MASTER of MY SEA.
William Ernest Henley said it earlier, in 1875
(published in 1888)
in his lovely and stirring poem “Invictus”:
“I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
…..
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
Gosh, that makes me want to stand up and cheer! Carry on! Keep a stiff upper lip!
(Henley: “My head is bloody but unbowed.”)
I am inspired now. I think I can keep on going for another day.
