Frank Sinatra sang My Way (1969), but Paul Anka wrote the lyrics especially for him. Though it became Sinatra’s signature song, he later hated it because he’d come to feel the song to be self-indulgent and self-serving. So true, but it remained a favorite and an anthem for those celebrating their personal accomplishments.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught [nothing]
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
“O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23 KJV). Like Frank Sinatra, may we also reject the sentiment of the song.
