It's My Way

I'm cutting my own way Through my own day And all I dare say Is it's my own I've got my own seeds I've got my own weeds I've got my own harvest That I've sown I can tell you Things I've done And I could sing you songs I've sung But there's one thing I can't give For I and I alone can live The years I've known And the life I've grown Got a way I'm going And it's my way I've got my own stakes In my own game I've got my own name And it's my way I've got my own kith I've got my own kin I've got my own sin And it's my way I've got my own peace I've got my own wrath I've got my own path that only I can go I've got my own sword in my own hand I've got my own plan that only I can know Don't be sighing Don't be crying Your day will come Your day alone Years you'll know and a life you'll grow You got a way to go all of your own I've got my own world I've got my own life I've got my own strife And it's my way I've got my own wrong I've got my own right I've got my own fight And it's my way I've got my own prayers I've got my own fears I've got my own tears And it's my way I've got my own joy I've got my own load I've got my own road And it's my way The years I've known and the life I've grown Got a way I'm going and it's my way Don't be sighing, don't be crying Your day will come Your day alone Put down the story of what I've known You're bound for glory all of your own Put down the story of what I say You're bound for glory All of your own one day --- It's My Way - Buffy Sainte-Marie
