On the Way
The Eddy Lyrics

And now, the end is near
The end of something is approaching

And so I face the final curtain
I am ready to confront the end

My friend, I'll say it clear
I will speak honestly

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I will express myself with confidence

I've lived a life that's full
I have had a fulfilling life

I've traveled each and every highway
I have experienced everything life has to offer

And more, much more than this
In addition to everything I've already mentioned

I did it my way
I did things on my own terms

Regrets, I've had a few
I am not without remorse

But then again, too few to mention
But my regrets are not significant enough to discuss

I did what I had to do
I did what was necessary

And saw it through without exemption
I completed everything I started

I planned each charted course
I carefully thought through my decisions

Each careful step along the byway
I was meticulous in my methods

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
I am aware that there were periods of difficulty

When I bit off more than I could chew
I took on more than I could handle

But through it all, when there was doubt
Despite the challenges I faced and the doubts I had

I ate it up and spit it out
I persevered and overcame the challenges

I faced it all and I stood tall
I confronted everything and remained strong

And did it my way
I achieved everything in my own unique way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I have experienced all of life's emotions

I've had my fill, my share of losing
I have experienced my fair share of setbacks

And now, as tears subside
As time has passed and my emotions have settled

I find it all so amusing
I look back on it all with a sense of humor

To think I did all that
It is remarkable to consider all that I accomplished

And may I say, not in a shy way
And I say this without hesitation

Oh no, oh no, not me
I am not like others

I did it my way
As stated before, I achieved everything in my own unique way

For what is a man, what has he got?
What defines a person and their accomplishments?

If not himself, then he has naught
If a person cannot be true to themselves, their accomplishments are meaningless

To say the things he truly feels
It is important to express oneself honestly

And not the words of one who kneels
And not just repeat what others say

The record shows I took the blows
The evidence suggests that I faced challenges head-on

And did it my way
And, once again, achieved everything in my own unique way
