[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

When I was born, the seed was sown

I will not obey, my life is my own

Battle those, who wish to enslave me

Expose the lies, that enrage me

[Verse 2]

I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell

Never joined the herd, could not adjust well

Slave and master, it's not for me

I chose my own path, set myself free

[Chorus]

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

The eagle flies alone

[Verse 3]

Reject the system, that dictates the norm

This world is full of lies and deceit

I have felt betrayal, cut so deep

Suffered defeat, only to rise again

[Chorus]

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

The eagle flies alone

Alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream

Forever I will fight the powers that be

The eagle flies alone
