Some mornings, the news is already loud and your mind is busy running through everything that could go wrong. “Trust Anyway,” by Gloria Travers & The North Street Band, begins on one of those mornings. The song asks what it takes to move forward while the fear is still there and the outcome is anyone’s guess.
In the video, a woman carries a lantern along a rain-soaked path. Its glow reaches only a few steps ahead. For now, that’s enough to keep walking.
Trust Anyway
Verse 1
I woke up with a heavy heart, the sky was gray inside my soul
Another wave of what-ifs crashed, another dream I couldn't hold
The news keeps shouting louder, the silence makes me shake
But deep inside, a voice reminds me — I still get to choose my fate
Chorus
I feel the fear, but I trust anyway
Even when the road gives way
I breathe it in, I don’t look away
I feel the fear — but I trust anyway
Verse 2
I’ve seen the storms tear through the trees, I’ve felt the fire burn the land
But somehow life keeps growing, through the ash, it makes a stand
The future isn’t promised, but the moment still is mine
And I can plant a better morning, one heartbeat at a time
Chorus
I feel the fear, but I trust anyway
Even when the night won’t fade
I hold the light, I choose to stay
I feel the fear — but I trust anyway
Verse 3
They said be brave or don’t be scared, but both can live inside
Courage isn’t in the absence — it’s the choice to walk and try
So I will not be perfect, but I will not disappear
I’ll dance into the darkness, with my faith instead of fear
Bridge
‘Cause trust is not a promise that the road will always bend
It’s the power in the rising, when we fall and rise again
So let the fear come whisper — I know just what to say:
I see you… and I’ll trust anyway
Final Chorus
I feel the fear, but I trust anyway
Step by step, come what may
I won’t be swayed, I’ve found my way
I feel the fear — and I trust anyway
