[Verse 1]
I've been sad, I've been lost
I've been down and out and lonely, hey
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, hey
'Cause the harder that we grind
Then the sweeter is the glory

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Gonna do it my way
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Gonna do it my way
[Verse 2]
So put me down and criticize me with your lies and with your parody, hey
In the darkness I don't hide 'cause I got pride that gives me clarity
I still wake up in the morning with the vision of a better life
You see, the option of defeat is just not written in my story

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Gonna do it my way
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Gonna do it my way

[Bridge]
Every time they build a wall around me
I will tear it down and say
I'ma live my dreams
Gotta live my dreams (Ayy-ayy)
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
