Anyway

Martina McBride

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 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
Yeah, sing it anyway

I sing
I dream
I love
Anyway

    General CommentI agree with aniraangel. I have this quote on a plaque on my wall:
    "People are often unreasonable and self-centered,
    Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind people may accuse you of ulterior motives,
    Be kind anyway.
    If you are honest people may cheat you,
    Be honest anyway.
    The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow,
    Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough,
    Give your best anyway.
    For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
    It never was between you and them anyway."

    I think this is an abridged version, but it has the same meaning. We just need more people to start believing this.
