"It's My Life"

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
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 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 wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
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
'Cause it's my life

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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause it's my life

Overall Meaning

The song "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi, covered by The Allstars, is an anthem for those who want to seize control of their own lives and live it to the fullest. The lyrics speak to the idea of individualism and the importance of standing up for oneself in a world that can often be harsh and unforgiving. The opening lines, "This ain't a song for the broken-hearted, no silent prayer for the faith-departed," set the tone for the rest of the song as a rallying call for those who are willing to take charge of their destiny.


The chorus is perhaps the most memorable part of the song, with its catchy guitar riff and sing-along lyrics. "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," encapsulates the message of the song perfectly. The reference to Frankie in the verse, "My heart is like an open highway, like Frankie said, I did it my way," is a nod to the classic song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, which is also about living life on one's own terms.


The song's upbeat tempo and positive message have made it a favorite of fans around the world. It has been covered by various artists, including The Allstars, and continues to be a staple of classic rock radio. Its enduring popularity and relatability are a testament to the power of music to inspire and uplift.

It's My Life (Full Lyrics)
Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
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 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

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)

Bon jovi should be proud. They had one job and they nailed it. I hope they do more songs. Being a drummer myself I'm so happy more and more female's are picking it up. Watching this really made me want to be there..
