Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And our own choices always have to make us free
To follow the way we decide the best for many
Roads to cross ahead with great certainty
It's my way
It's my way
I walk in the sun
It's my way
It's my way
Nothing's to shun
It's my way
The light is my heaven
So many parallel destinies will test my conviction
To face adversities at each intersection
And climbing higher more than worries with real determination
To find pure abilities by the side lane of meditation
It's my way
It's my way
I walk in the sun
It's my way
To feel the heat and fun
It's my way
Nothing's to shun
It's my way
Till the point of no return
I follow my way everyday anyway
And I feel our journey can't never split and stray
When you lay on my way for a day, less or years
Makes me grow anyway, I leave this stage where I can't stay
But you, part of my way, I'll keep your grace everyday
In my mind, in my heart, till the end of my spiritual journey
It's my way
It's my way
I walk in the sun
It's my way
To feel the heat and fun
It's my way
Nothing's to shun
It's my way
The light is my heaven
It's my way
It's my way
It's my way

Wow, that's a really nice treatment of a great song. The original was awesome (thanks for some great drums, Don), but the sparse version here is damn good as well.
