Do It Anyway/Overture-Heaven on Their Minds (Live)
Jesus!
You might put your love and trust on the line
It's risky, people love to tear that down
Let 'em try
Do it anyway
Risk it anyway
And if you're paralyzed by a voice in your head
It's the standing still that should be scaring you instead
Go on and
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
There will be times you might leap before you look
There'll be times you'll like the cover and that's precisely why you'll love the book
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
So tell me what I said I'd never do
Tell me what I said I'd never say
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like
But now I think are okay
Sometimes it's not subjective: wrong and right
Deep down, you know it's downright wrong, but you're invincible tonight, so you
Do it anyway
It's done, you did it
Despite your grand attempts, the chips are set to fall
And all the stories you might weave cannot negotiate them all
Do it anyway
Be honest, anyway
So tell me what I said I'd never do
Tell me what I said I'd never say
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like
But now I think you're okaaaaay!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah
[instrumental transition to "Heaven on Their Minds"]
My mind is clearer now
At last, I can see, all too well
Where we all soon will be
If you strip away
The myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you
You really do believe
This talk of God is true
It's gonna be so very hard to say
And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face, but you must
Do it anyway
It sucks, but
Do it anyway
Call it surrender, but you know that that's a joke
And the punchline is you were actually never in control
But still
Surrender anyway
So tell me what I said I'd never do
Tell me what you said you'd never say
Read me off that list of things, cause I used to not like you
But now I think you're okaaaay!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah
And everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it!
Jesus!
