Lyrics
Thank you. Thank you for letting me be your storyteller and for the way you’ve supported my work all these years. This is heartfelt. I want to share a song with you that is a personal favorite of mine... it’s called My Way. But tonight, we’re going to do it the LMB way.
[Verse 1]
I remember the nights I couldn't pay the rent,
Staring at the ceiling till the night was spent.
I’ve walked through the hallways of the rich and the proud,
While I was the whisper and they were the loud.
I’ve sat in the cold with my head in my hands,
Trying to build a life on the shifting sands.
I took all the silence and I made it a roar,
I’m not the man who waits by the door!
(BY THE DOOR!)
[Verse 2]
I worked the shifts that would break a man's back,
Watching the world fall through every crack.
I saw the ones who lied to get the prize,
I saw the hollow look inside of their eyes.
My hands were calloused and my spirit was thin,
But I never let the cold of the world get in.
I’d rather be hungry and stand on my feet,
Than be a rich man who is broken and beat!
(AND BEAT!)
[Chorus]
I will not bend!
(NEVER BEND!)
I will not break just to be okay!
(NEVER BREAK!)
I’ll wear these scars
Like proof I chose the harder way!
(THE HARDER WAY!)
If I stand alone
In the cold and in the grey,
I’ll hold the line!
(HOLD THE LINE!)
And walk my fire!
My road, my way!
(YOUR WAY!)
[Verse 3]
I’ve seen my own friends walk away from the light,
Leaving me alone in the middle of the night.
I’ve looked in the mirror at the age in my eyes,
Past the illusions and the hollow disguise.
But you don't find the truth in the easy and soft,
You find it when you’re carrying the burden aloft.
And every "no" that was slammed in my face,
Was just the foundation of this holy place!
(THIS PLACE!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Every door they slammed!
(YEAH!)
Every bridge I burned!
(YEAH!)
The more that I lost,
The more that I earned!
[Chorus]
I WILL NOT BEND!
(I WILL NOT BEND!)
I WILL NOT BREAK JUST TO BE OKAY!
(I WILL NOT BREAK!)
I’LL WEAR THESE SCARS
LIKE PROOF I CHOSE THE HARDER WAY!
(THE HARDER WAY!)
IF I STAND ALONE
IN THE COLD AND IN THE GREY,
I’LL HOLD THE LINE!
(HOLD THE LINE!)
AND WALK MY FIRE!
MY ROAD, MY WAY!
[Bridge]
WE ARE THE ONES!
(WE ARE!)
WHO REFUSED TO FOLD!
(WE ARE!)
WE ARE THE ONES!
(WE ARE!)
WHO COULD NOT BE SOLD!
(WE ARE!)
YOU CAN TAKE THE MONEY!
YOU CAN TAKE THE LAND!
BUT YOU’LL NEVER BREAK
A SELF-MADE MAN!
[Crescendo Outro]
MY WAY!
(MY WAY!)
I TOOK THE HIT!
(MY WAY!)
I HAD THE GRIT!
(MY WAY!)
THROUGH THE DIRT!
(MY WAY!)
THROUGH THE HURT!
(MY WAY!)
I KEPT MY SOUL!
(MY WAY!)
I KEPT MY PRIDE!
(MY WAY!)
I OWN THE SCARS!
(MY WAY!)
I OWN THE RIDE!
(MY WAY!)
MY WAY!
(MY WAY!)
MY WAY!
(MY WAY!)
MY WAY!
(MY WAY!)
I DID IT MY WAY!
(MY WAY!)
My way.
