Anthem

I woke up today

A song was swimming in my head

And I hummed it to myself

As I got out of bed

And on the way to take a shower

It all just dawned on me

That a song like this just might go down in history

I quickly ran back to get my guitar, a pen and some paper

'Cause this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong

Yeah, this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

Well I quickly got to work

And put the song in gear

And my neighbor rang the doorbell

Said it caught his ear

I was playing it so loud

The whole neighborhood could hear

And at night from every household

It became quite clear

Everyone just singing along

The same notes the same song

Maybe I heard it wrong

'Cause this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong

Yeah, this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

Everyone was singing along

The same notes the same song

Maybe I heard that wrong

'Cause this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong (Where they belong)

Yeah, this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along (Will sing along)

Yeah, this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong (Where they belong)

Yeah, this whole world

Needs an anthem

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along
