Sing it Anyway
Martina McBride’s live performance of “Anyway” on American Idol left me stunned, inspired and bawling my eyes out like a 6-year-old girl with pigtails. Not only were the lyrics so powerful and so intense, but that was nothing compared to the flawless way that she delivered them.
Perfect voice, stage presence… a true diva.
“Anyway” Lyrics:
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

Hey…I wrote about the same song after I saw American Idol…I LOVED the words and loved the way she sang it. She was really great giving advice to the contestants. I thought she and Jennifer Lopez gave some of the best advice… Have fun!
