Contemporary Christian recording artist Katie Giguere, who scored a Top 20 Inspo hit last year with I Lift Up My Eyes, is back with her second single, a remake of Martina McBride’s country/Christian hit Anyway. Solid vocal support and an earnest delivery make this revival of Anyway a career-making move, resulting in an Anyway that is, in my opinion, better than McBride’s original.
Don’t take my word for it. Compare the two and tell me what you think.

Lyrics to Katie Giguere’s Anyway after the jump.
ANYWAY Lyrics
Katie Giguere
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
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 – praise Him anyway
I sing
I dream
I love
Oh, anyway
Anyway
