I Did It Anyway
Against All Odds: Embracing Dreams, Defying Limits - Andrea Benz
Lyrics
First time 17 around that town
First experience at the age of 17 in that town.
I strolled up and down and in and out of the bars
Wandering in and out of bars.
Not old enough to drink that beer, we did it anyway
Underage, but drank beer against the rules.
There was a band on that front room stage
A band playing on the front room stage.
They´re firing it up and all ready to roll
The band is energetic and ready to perform.
Looking at her I thought I wanna be that girl
Admiring a girl, aspiring to be like her.
When they told me to wait my turn, they said I wasn´t gonna make it
Being told to wait, faced skepticism about success.
cgainst all odds, you think I can't do it, I did it anyway
Despite doubts, accomplishing things against the odds.
Sneaking up to the front row, jumping that fence
Sneaking to the front row, breaking the rules.
Well I knew better but I did it anyway
Knowing better but defying caution.
That dream seemed so out of reach, but I did it anyway
Pursuing a seemingly unattainable dream.
Oh oh believe what you will, cause you do it anyway
Ignoring criticism and doing it anyway.
I just started out when times got tough
Starting a journey despite tough times.
The bills piling up, but that wasn't enough
Financial struggles, but not giving up.
I didn't know how to make ends meet, we did it anyway
Challenges in making ends meet, overcoming them.
It made me believe in you can make it work
Believing in the possibility of making things work.
Don't lose any sleep no matter what they´re saying
Ignoring criticism and negative opinions.
So I started thinking myself I´m gonna prove y´all wrong
Determined to prove doubters wrong.
When they told me this ain´t my turn, I said you better be sure I´ll make it
Confident response to being told it's not their turn.
cgainst all odds, you think I can't do it, I did it anyway
Achieving success against all odds.
Sneaking up to the front row, jumping that fence
Repeating the act of defying rules and taking risks.
Well I knew better but I did it anyway
Knowing the risks but taking action anyway.
That dream seemed so out of reach, but I did it anyway
Persisting despite challenges in reaching dreams.
Oh oh believe what you will, cause you do it anyway
Embracing the journey despite skepticism.
Now every time I´m on that stage, I smile and think about that day
Reflecting on success and the journey on stage.
cnd how I made my life this way
Thinking about the choices that led to the current life.
cgainst all odds, you think I can't do it, I did it anyway
Reiterating the theme of achieving against odds.
Saying goodbye to my paychecks, my house, and my car
Parting with material possessions for the dream.
Well, I knew better but I did it anyway
Knowing the risks but persisting in the pursuit.
That dream seemed so out of reach, but I did it anyway
Continuing despite challenges in reaching the dream.
I did it anyway, anyway
Success achieved against all odds.
