Straight from the mouth of a Gen Y Woman

I sing. I dream. I love anyway.

Reason #849 that I love music … sometimes there is a song that I swear was written for me. A song that says everything I am feeling/experiencing at that moment in time. That song for me right now is Anyway by Martina McBride.

The lyrics to this song sum of how I choose to live my life right now.

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 not ever 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
Yea - 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
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love anyway

Love Martina. Love her voice. Love the message behind that song. Love the video as well …

    I love Martina. I’ve never heard this song though, I’ll have to check it out.

  3. This is a good song. I’ve only heard it a couple of times, but it’s got some sound advice (no pun intended). “It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should.” That happens so much!

    when i first heard her sing this on the CMAs last year I CRIED. CRIED. Especially when she got to the “sing” verse. but oh my god the whole song.

    i own this whole cd. i bought it the day it came out. the entire cd is inspirational and feel-good just like that song.

    also, did you know this was one of the first songs she ever cowrote? she was on tour with the warren brothers and they convinced her to try it, and four of those songs ended up on the record. and i think she should have been doing it all along. don’t you?

    oooooh music.
