[Verse 1]
C5
When I was born the seed was sown
C5
I will not obey, my life is my own
C5
Battle rows, which do enslave me
C5
Exposed lies that enrage me
C5
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
C5
Never joined the herd, could not adjust well
C5
Slave and master, it's not for me
C5
I choose my own path, set myself free

[Chorus]
Db5  Eb5
I, I go my own way
C5       F5        Eb5
I swim against the stream
   Db5         Eb5                   F5 C5
Forever I will fight the powers that be
Db5  Eb5
I, I go my own way
C5      F5         Eb5
I swim against the stream
   Db5         Eb5                   F5
Forever I will fight the pοwers that be
    C5
The eagle flies alone

[Verse 2]
C5
Reject the system that dictates the norm
C5
This world is full of lies and deceit
C5
I ask my own betrayal, cut so deep
C5
Suffered defeat only to rise again

[Chorus]
Db5  Eb5
I, I go my own way
C5         F5         Eb5
I, I swim against the stream
   Db5         Eb5                   F5 C5
Forever I will fight the powers that be
Db5  Eb5
I, I go my own way
C5      F5         Eb5
I swim against the stream
   Db5         Eb5                   F5
Forever I will fight the pοwers that be
    C5
The eagle flies alone
