My Way

By John Prue

This time, I’m gonna do things my way.

This time, I’m gonna fly, like a comet

Through the sky.

This time, like a whirlwind, hurdling every dam,

I’ll live with no regrets,

With all the freedom I can seize.

Now, I’m solitary,

Just a loner,

But that’s how I’m likin’ it.

This time, I’m gonna do things my way.

This time I’m gonna fly.
