My Way...

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way


(yes..., perjalanan hidup ini ibarat rangkaian syair dalam lagu tersebut di atas, siapa lagi yang akan melakoninya kalau bukan kita sendiri. apa yang kita jejakkan sekarang, menentukan ujung jalan kita nanti. dengan keyakinan jejak langkah yang baik, akan tiba pada ujung tujuan yang baik pula. dimana kita dapat dengan tegak melantunkan bait-bait syair di atas dan berkata : "yes, it was my way...!" semoga ya dan amin.)
