(I'm cutting my) own way 
through my own day 
and all I dare say is 
It's my own

(Got my) own seeds 
Got my own weeds 
I've got my own harvest 
that I've sown

I can tell you 
things I‘ve done 
and I can 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, 
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 wrong 
I've got my own right 
I've got my own fight 
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 crying     Don't be sighing 
Your day will come; your day alone
Years you'll know and a life you'll grow 
You got a way to go and it's all on 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 Kith 
I've got my own Kin 
I've got my own Sin 
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

Put down the story of what I've known 
Your bound for glory all of your own Put down the story of what I say 
You're bound for glory 
all on your own one day
