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 'til 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 and 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 is 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 'til 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 'til 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, 'til I die I'm gonna do it my way
