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've 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,
But 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!
Aku boleh rasa masa-masa aku kat US ni dah makin sikit. Sikit sangat dah sebenarnya. Entah, itu gerak hati aku lah.
Dalam almost nak 5 tahun duduk kat US ni, aku merasa macam-macam. Ada sedih, ada happy, ada depressed, ada euphoria...memacamlah. Dari orang panggil pelajar tajaan PETRONAS sampai ke golongan anti kerajaan, semuanya dah dapat label. Fine by me.
Ada masa-masanya aku rasa macam...ahhh..beratnya ya Allah nak go through semua ni. Kadang kita buat menda-menda yang kita buat tu, bukannya kita rancang. In fact, most of them we did spontaneously. Doesn't matter if it's about the national security or one self pride and dignity. We all do in our own way and we do it spontaneously.
Yeah of course..each road leads to somewhere. As Frank Sinatra in his famous song My Way said, "I did it my way". Yet again, from time to time I become perplex as to what extent shall I do it my way? Many people come into my life and tell me what to do, according to their standard. Never once people say, "Be what you want to be and do what you want to do".
Yes..there are some limitations of what we can do and what we ought do in life. I never doubt about this fact. But then, the degree of freedom which is bestowed upon us sometimes come with a price. You know what I am talking about, do you?
Well..I am willing to take the price..and I did pay the price for some of the things which i did in the past. And there is not an ounce of regret left in my heart as I slowly plow my way through in this world. Yes, I did fall once a while..I was on the top of the world once a while..we all live in a circle.
Whatever it is..."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!"
