This is the way
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we feel
This is the real way
Just follow the crowd
They'll get you right back
To the start...
Nobody that I know
Will know the way I feel
Will ever talk my way
I'm walking at my own pace
Our minds are worlds apart
I listen to my heart
Pick up the kind of beat that makes my music
Always
'Cause I've been battling with myself,
Find your own part!
Just hoping not to let me down
All those rules and what they told you,
Well, I just took it out
Gently shook it out, I tried and now
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
This is my way
The way I live
The way I love
My own ideal
I think it's the right way
To make it all work
And keep my mind out
Of the dark
Nobody that I know
Will know the way I feel
Will ever talk my way
I'm walking at my own pace
Our minds are worlds apart
I listen to my heart
So I can face the world and say
"I did it my way"
'Cause I've been battling with myself,
Find your own part!
Just hoping not to let me down
All those rules and what they told you,
Well, I just took it out
Gently shook it out, I tried and now
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
Don't try to tell me you haven't got the strength
I don't need nobody to save me from myself
I'll paint it my own way, draw outside the lines
Ain't got no rules, I'll make up my own rhymes
'Cause I've been battling with myself,
Find your own part!
Just hoping not to let me down
All those rules and what they told you,
Well, I just took it out
Gently shook it out, I tried
'Cause I've been battling with myself,
Find your own part!
Just hoping not to let me down
All those rules and what they told you,
Well, I just took it out
Gently shook it out, I tried and now
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
