This Is My Life

I go down the beaten track,
along the river with an empty bag
At the end she said to me: "Why are you here with the 
autumn leaves?"

'Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to 
stand
'Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can't be no one 
else

I'm done, tipping on my toes
strike an iron adn attack my soul
Misty moon, you're gonna see
I've got you blues to get on my feet

'Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to 
stand
'Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can't be no one 
else

I don't wanna run; I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna hide; I just wanna stay free, to be me
I don't wanna win; I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna play; I just wanna remember, oh I'm my name

'Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to 
stand
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

('Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to 
stand)
'Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can't be no one 
else
'Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can't be no one 
else
'Cause this is my life, my friend
