I GO MY WAY
V1
Cars go racing by
A typical work day
Sad faces scurrying about
Stacks of bills to pay
From dawn till dusk
Travelin’ a lone byway
Hummin’ a humble tune
Takes me through my day

CHORUS
After I’ve come to say
What I came to say
My worn-out welcome
I don’t overstay
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way

V2
Born a castaway
A castaway I’ll always be
Wild as the wind blows
Find me lost at sea
This world’s glitter and gold
Mean nothing to me
Wisdom is my windfall
Knowledge is the key


CHORUS
After I’ve come to say
What I came to say
My worn-out welcome
I don’t overstay
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way

V3
And in the calm
Of a warm afternoon breeze
I watch branches dancing
High up in the trees
Millions of stars
Will soon be all mine to gaze
The universe
Will soon be all mine to praise

Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooh

CHORUS
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way.

Inspired by the late poet, Max Ehrmann; one of his lesser known poems, “I Go My Way”.
