Song: “Do It Anyway”

Behind the Music

I can’t win an argument with myself.

When I list the reasons why I can’t do something.

They’re good reasons.

But sometimes, I’ve just got to do the thing.

Lyrics

When you're too tired to sleep
and the thought of getting up makes you wanna weep.
When you're facing one more hill
but your legs refuse your will.

I know I've got no right to ask
you to take on this hopeless task

I know you're right when you say
you can't do anymore today

but do it anyway.
Do it anyway.

When the mirror shows your age
and they're calling you back to the stage.
When your belly bloats with fear
and you'd rather be anywhere than here.

I know I've got no right to ask
you to take on this hopeless task

I know you're right when you say
you can't do anymore today

but do it anyway.
Do it anyway.

I'm not saying that you can
There is no secret sauce and I've got no plan

but do it anyway.
Do it anyway.

When your child cries for days
and you can't see through the haze.
When they've shredded up your last nerve
you see the crash ahead, but you can't swerve.

I know I've got no right to ask
you to take on this hopeless task

I know you're right when you say
you can't do anymore today

but do it anyway.
Do it anyway.
Do it anyway,
do it anyway,
do it anyway.
