Song Description
The central lyric in the chorus states that "To your life you are the captain...". This song was written for the mate of the writer at a challenging time in their relationship. Another question of "trust" was created where the main character in the song wonders if he trusts the decisions he's made in his overall life.
He accepts full responsibility for his actions and knows he must continue trusting his instincts and heart.

Lyrics
Trust
Trust is more than a word
It is something
you've got to deserve
Once it's gone
You can't just bend it back
It's gone
Respect is trust's old friend
They like to walk hand in hand
You lose it
You'll wish you never had
You're in a place where
you can see the sky
But if you stop
you didn't even try
To start livin'
(chorus)
To your life you are the captain
And you're on a choppy sea
Without a step
you can't start walking
Without trust there is no dream
Freedom is what you
bring to the table
If truths you can sing
You can talk
They will listen
They'll come around
But lies will kill your voice
Sending them running away
without choice
It's lies that will take away
your freedom
Hey listen, Captain
What do you fear?
The rocks are ahead now
Which way will you steer?
