It's My Life
§ Bon Jovi § Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't enough
You've got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
The song "It's my life" by Bon Jovi is an empowering anthem about standing up for oneself and living life to the fullest. The opening line suggests that the song is not meant for those who have already given up on their dreams or feel broken-hearted. There's no point in silently praying for things to change if one is not willing to take action. The singer asserts that he won't be just another face in the crowd and wants to be heard when he speaks out loud.
The chorus of "It's my life" is the heart of the song - the singer boldly states that it's his life and his time to make a change. He knows he's not going to live forever, and so he wants to seize the moment and make the most of it. The line "My heart is like an open highway, like Frankie said, I did it my way" is a nod to Frank Sinatra's famous song "My Way" and reflects the singer's belief that one can only truly live life by staying true to oneself.
The third verse of the song talks about the challenges that lie ahead and the need to create one's own luck. It's not enough to sit back and wait for good things to happen; one must actively seek out opportunities and take charge of their life. The final chorus emphasizes the importance of not faltering or backing down in the face of challenges - it's time to stand tall and seize the moment.
Overall, "It's my life" is a powerful message about the importance of living life on one's own terms, without letting others dictate what one can or cannot do. It's a song of empowerment, urging listeners to take control of their own lives and make the most of every moment.

You've got to make your own breaks
One must take action to create opportunities and shape their own destiny
You better stand tall when they're calling you out
One must be confident and assertive when challenged by others
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Remain steadfast and resolute in the face of adversity
