I always went my own road and on my own legs where I had a mind to go

I am entitled to my own idea of myself.

I hold my own mind and think apart from other men.

I can do without anybody. I have my own soul: my own spark of divine fire.

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself.

Through my own efforts, I am lost most of the time without any help from anyone.

I have taken to living by my wits.

I am compliance itself — when I am not thwarted; — no one more easily led — when I have my own way.

All by myself I have to go, With none to tell me what to do — All alone beside the streams And up the mountain-sides of dreams.

Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own.

From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master...

I am alone here in my own mind.
There is no map
and there is no road.
It is one of a kind
just as yours is.

My own mind is my own church.

I have my own vision, and I shall be my own
