I've been Captain von Trapp
All about discipline
But my children don't know
They don't know, I can sing
I can't get beyond the whistle and rules
So hung up about everything
But what's the point of having rules to the game?
If the game ain't no fun
Adding fuel to the flames
Maybe there's a bit of Maria in me
To ease this pain?
Help me to change
Help me to change
My stubbornness and will are
So hard and so strange
Can't get out this hole
If I need control
Good Lord please help me to change
No more Captain von Trapp
Or maybe just a tad
Like when he sings edelweiss
And becomes a good Dad
But how do it when the kids make me mad
And I'm hung up about everything
I need to rediscover the spark in me
Find joy in the mess
And fun with my three
Maybe there's a bit of Maria in me
To ease this pain
Help me to change
Help me to change
My stubbornness and will are
So hard and so strange
Can't get out this hole
If I need control
Good Lord please help me to change
Help me to change
Help me to change
My stubbornness and will are
So hard and so strange
Can't get out this hole
If I need control
Good Lord please help me to change
Good Lord please help me to change
Good Lord please help me to change
