My Way

I've been sad, I've been lost, I've been down and out and lonely

I've been suffering at a job in a world that tries to own me

But when I wake up every morning, there's an image of a better place

'Cause the harder that we grind, then the sweeter is the glory

People say I'm foolish

People say I'm blinded by faith

But if I run out of air, if I crash, I don't care

I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this

You can throw the world in my face

But the fear gives me life, and I swear till I die

I'm gonna do it my way

Aye, gonna do it my way

Aye, gonna do it my way

So put me down, criticize me with your lies and with your parody

In the darkness, I don't hide 'cause I got pride that gives me clarity

I still wake up in the morning with a vision of a better life

You see, the option of defeat's just not written in my story

People say I'm foolish

People say I'm blinded by faith

But if I run out of air, if I crash, I don't care

I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this

You can throw the world in my face

But the fear gives me life, and I swear till I die

I'm gonna do it my way

Aye, gonna do it my way

Aye, gonna do it my way

Every time they build a wall around me

I will tear it down and say, "I'ma live my dreams"

Gotta live my dreams

Even when the floods rush 'round to drown me

I just hold my breath and pray, "Let me live my dreams"

Every single one of my, I ain't quitting none of my dreams

People say I'm foolish

People say I'm blinded by faith

But if I run out of air, if I crash, I don't care

I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this

You can throw the world in my face

But the fear gives me life, and I swear till I die

I'm gonna do it my way

Let me fly through the air, if I crash, I don't care

I'm gonna do it my way

'Cause the fear gives me life, and I swear till I die

I'm gonna do it my way
