I wanna know if I walk down a certain road, it was my choice
And I wanna know if I had something to say, I raised my voice
I don′t wanna wake up a little too late
And say I could've done this, or I should′ve done that
When I close my eyes at night, I wanna know I'm doing the best I can
When I am sitting there in my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray that I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh I lived my life
Don′t wanna take my father′s, father's path, I gotta make my own
Don′t want my epitaph to read, "Wish they could've known me"
I don′t want that carved in stone
I wanna leave this place with a smile on my face
Knowing what's in my heart didn′t just stay in my heart
And whatever Heaven gave me, I wanna know I gave it all back
When I am sitting there in my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray that I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh I lived my life
When I am sitting there in my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray that I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh I lived my life
Well, I wanna be an open book, say I gave more than I took
My life, I lived my life
I lived my life
