My Way [1] By Paul Anka
And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full I travelled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried I’ve had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing to think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has not To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
Yes, it was my way

It has Always been My Way By Ziad Aazam
And then, when the days were young I faced the opening curtain My friend, I shall tell a story I sang With cries and laughs to which I was awaken
I crawled a tender life, and then I stood tall To make a choice at every crossway And some more, I thought I could Do it my way
Sorrows, I had but none It was just fun, to live a life of a freshman I dreamt of days to come Of possible worlds without exception
I walked on less traveled paths In dreams that reached the Milky Way When I thought I could, yes, I would Imagine it my way
No, never I had a time of doubt When I stumbled or worn-out For I was free like a wind That blew on treasure fields, never pinned
I flowed in hope and thought I could Do it my way
I didn’t worry, I was nothing yet happy I had my joy, my chances of glory And now, as I stand here today I wonder if life has passed me away
And if I stay some more, I say Oh, yes, I am on my way
For what a human is about If not for one’s right is devout If not being oneself, what good is the other Give in, I shall not nor yield to smother
My heart says I have done what it takes To do it my way, never sway Lock me away or block my byway I shall never give up My Way
