well, i do it anyway.

you can spend your whole life building something from nothing, 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. 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. you can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in that tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang -- sing it anyway, sing it anyway.

i sing, i dream, i love, anyway.

james greenspun;

alone in your mind, waiting for the sun to shine. alone in your mind, waiting for the sign, that it's time, to break free from the words that hold you down. to escape from the feeling, you are lost and can't be found.
don't hide your face, you cannot erase the pain that stays in your eyes. lay down your guard, show them who you are, behind your disguise.
you run, far from home, think you'll make it on your own. you run, fast and slow, but never seem to know where you'll go, to break free from the words that hold you down. to escape from the feeling, you are lost and can't be found.. lost and can't be found.
don't hide your face, you cannot erase the pain that stays in your eyes. lay down your guard, show them who you are, behind your disguise.
don't hide your face, you cannot erase the pain that stays in your eyes. lay down your guard, show them who you are, behind your disguise, your disguise.
