Lyrics

[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 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
[Verse 4]
Alone
[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
