A bit before my time. But I can relate to it
Frank Sinatra "I did it my way"

And now, the end is near
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 , I saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the highway
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
And 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
The right to say the things he feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
 
When the religious threads are running hot, I sometimes find myself reflecting on the lyrics of this song:
[Quote="Letter To God" written by Cheryl Crow/Jeff Trott]

I woke up late, put my sweater on
And I walked down to the shop
I stood in line 'til the line was gone
And my turn to win was lost

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clue

Well I'm sendin' a letter to God
How will it be when I'm gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

I took you in, made a bed for you
And in turn you gave me some
Words to go on, told me I was saved
But you never said what from

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clues
To the questions
You ask yourself at night
Who will come through?

You'll be sending a letter to God
How will it be when you're gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

A solid case for the innocent
Could be made and laid to rest
They say, "It won't do if you aren't like us
Then you've failed the final test"

What do you feel
When you look to the east and to the west
If this is real
Does it feel like some never ending test?
A finance deal
If this is my one last chance to invest
I've one request

I'll be sendin' a letter to God
To know where will I go when I'm gone
And what if everyone is wrong?[/Quote]
