Blowin' In The Wind
---------------------------
How many roads must a man walk down
Before YOU CALL HIM A MAN?

Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
BEFORE THEY'RE FOREVER BANNED?
The answer, MY FRIEND, is blowin' in the wind,
THE ANSWER IS BLOWIN' IN THE WIND.
How many times must a man look up
BEFORE HE CAN SEE THE SKY?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
BEFORE HE CAN HEAR PEOPLE CRY?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED?
The answer, MY FRIEND, is blowin' in the wind,
THE ANSWER IS BLOWIN' IN THE WIND.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' HOW MANY YEARS CAN SOME PEOPLE EXIST
BEFORE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO BE FREE?
Yes, 'n' HOW MANY TIMES CAN A MAN TURN HIS HEAD,
PRETENDING HE JUST DOESN'T SEE?
The answer, MY FRIEND, is blowin' in the wind,
THE ANSWER IS BLOWIN' IN THE WIND.

My Way – Frank Sinatra Lyrics
(P. Anka, J. Revaux, G. Thibault, C. Frankois)
[Recorded December 30, 1968, Hollywod]

And now, the end is here
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 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
And 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!
