Sing it anyway

Earlier this week I heard a new song on one of the Christian music stations called "Anyway". It's sung by country artist Martina McBride. I only heard it once, but I liked it a lot, and then as I was watching American Idol last night, there she was singing it live on the show! I think it was released a couple months ago, so maybe if you're a country music fan you've already heard this song a thousand times.

Anyway, the lyrics for this song are terrific, and I thought I'd share them with you...

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might never come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea - sing it anyway

I sing
I dream
I love
Anyway
