Anyway

Martina McBride

You can spend your whole life building
Somethin’ 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
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
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

I Hope You Dance

Lee Ann Womack

 I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

Satellite

Jewel

Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
Cute boys with crew cuts and day glow surfboards
There’s a pretty lady in a bikini, her eyes are bright
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
She’s trying to fix her dreams
With sushi and facials and carrot juice

CHORUS:
There’s a white wall that we can’t see over now
But that’s okay, we’re still learning
Mistakes, they are allowed
If you’re a satellite, oh, oh, oh…

Yoga classes so you can look good in your singles bar
California’s sure lovely;
It’s the home of the stars
And everybody is a nice body
But souls are like shadows, hollow inside, choked
And hiding behind volley balls and valium and power bars

There’s a white wall that we can’t see over now
But that’s okay, we’re still learning
Mistakes, they are allowed
If you’re a satellite, oh, oh, oh…

BRIDGE:

We understand a lot of things
About modern techonology
But not about dreams
Our hearts are on the shelves
We can’t fix ourselves
But we can fix a satellite
Because in Hollywood
The heroes are strung out on grace
And half-skinned gypsies are crying leave this place

There’s a white wall that we can’t see over now
But that’s okay, we’re still learning
Mistakes, they are allowed
If you’re a satellite, oh, oh, oh…

The pope can’t fix my broken heart
Rock ‘n’ roll can’t fix my broken heart
Valium can’t fix my broken heart
Miss Cleo can’t fix my broken heart
But will you fix my broken heart?
Cause I’m gonna give you a satellite
Fix my broken heart

Stigmatized

The Calling

If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what’s true, will we ever be
Even God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn’t hold me back, shouldn’t keep me from you

Chorus:
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized

I can feel the blood rushing though my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray

Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized

We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We’ll live our lives, We’ll take the punches everyday
We’ll live our lives I know we’re gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I Believe in you, and I don’t really give a damn
stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides

We’re gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We’re gonna live our lives
We’re gonna live our lives.. Gonna live our lives..

Stigmatized

Forever For Tonight

Blessed Union of Souls

Could I be with you alone
I’m not sure where this will go
Cause we don’t have the time we need
Just enough to make us bleed

Cause I’ll be leaving soon
It’s hard to say when I’ll return
And I don’t want to lead you on

So if you feel the need
Close your eyes abd share this dream
It will be eternity

Forever for tonight
I will be there to hold you
through the night
Forever for tonight
I will love you forever for tonight
Forever for tonight

As I look into your eyes
Feelings much too strong for us not to try
And if by chance we lose this fight
Darling we still have tonight

So when I’m far away
I will always be with you
You will never be alone
So if you feel the need
Take my hand and share this night
It will be eternity

Forever for tonight
I will be there to hold you
through the night
Forever for tonight
I will love you forever for tonight
Forever for tonight
See I’ve been broken down by empty promises
Like a sky without a star
And I’ve been having doubts
that I could feel again
But I believe that I’m in love
