Lyrics
Do It Your Way
(Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster Music: M. Novak)
Society uses culture to set the way
Our actions are the same day after day
Our behavior becomes hard wired
We do what’s expected and required
You’re supposed to go to church and learn at school
That’s where we learn all those golden rules.
This is where life’s goals are set
The rules stand rigid with no outlet
CHORUS:
Do it your way - think outside the box
Do it your way
Do it your way - be unorthodox
Do it your way
Do it your way - follow your passion
Do it do it do it your way
Do it your way - even if it’s out of fashion
Do it your way Do it your way Do it your way
We are expected to follow the old time line
A job, a marriage and kids are the baseline
Some see this is not their path
They’re ridiculed and they’re enduring societies wrath
CHORUS:
Do things your way
But don’t hurt anyone that’s not ok
Do things your way
Be true to yourself at the end of the day
For those who seek freedom from the norm
They reject the past and a new person is born.
Removing the blindfold is easier than it sounds
A new light of day opportunity abounds
Brand new doors are opened and new ideas grow
When you cast off the shackles and the weight of the old
For those that are willing to spread their new found wings
The world holds many many wondrous things
CHORUS:
