Well, I have heard the people say
You sleep at night and work all day
And though for some that song is fine
It’s not my tune, it’s not my rhyme
I’ve done it right, I’ve done it wrong
But now I say I found my way
To wake up, to shake up
Well, here I go — I’m flying again
Down by the byway, gonna do it my way
And with my head up — I’m trying again
Holding to the one that I am
And when I hear the people say
The good old times have gone away
I throw a smile and sing this song
So they can see, they may be wrong
And I’ve been right and I’ve been wrong
But now I’m sure I’ve found the cure
To wake up, to shake up
Well, here I go — I’m flying again
Down by the byway, oh, I’ll do it my way
And with my head up — I’m trying again
Reaching for the sun, life has just begun
I’m holding to the song that I am
And I’ve been right and I’ve been wrong
But now I say I found my way
To wake up, to shake up
Well, here I go — I’m flying again
Down by the byway, gonna do it my way
And with my head up — I’m trying again
Holding to the song that I am
