Country’s Reigning QueenSays “Do it Anyway”

Anyway
(Martina McBride/Brad Warren/Brett Warren)

You can spend your whole life buildin’
Somethin’ from nothin’
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so outta 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
(Yeah) I do it anyway

This world’s gone crazy
And 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
And 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
(Yeah) I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singin’
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah, sing it anyway, yeah yeah

I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah

By Travis Kelly

Martina McBride has done it again. From the woman who brought us such hits as Broken Wing and Independence Day, comes her newest hit, Anyway. Co-written by Martina (she co-writes three songs on this album), Anyway is a powerful anthem with a melody that soars as it builds to the climactic finish.

Ultimately, it’s a song with a message of hope and strength—as the lyrics from the chorus attest: “God is great, but sometimes life ain’t good/When I pray it doesn’t always turn out like I think it should/But I do it anyway/I do it anyway.”

Throughout her musical career, from her humble beginnings selling t-shirts for Garth Brooks to her own sold-out concerts across the country, Martina has consistently proven that she can use her music as a platform for what she believes, reaching out to those who need compassion, healing and, above all, hope. As McBride says in her own words, “I think music and songs have the ability to heal.”

Anyway can be found on Martina’s latest RCA Record Label release, Waking Up Laughing.
