| I woke up today and 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
|
| Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
|
| and I’m tryin' 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 and 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 was singing along
|
| the same notes the same song
|
| and I knew my work was done
|
| Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
|
| and I’m tryin' to put the words where they belong
|
| yeah, this whole world needs an anthem and I’m hoping everyone will sing along
|
| (will sing along)
|
| Everyone was singing along
|
| the same notes the same song
|
| and I knew my work was done
|
| Cuz this whole world needs an anthem
|
| and I’m tryin' to put the words where they belong (where they belong)
|
| yeah this whole world needs an anthem (needs an anthem) and I’m hoping everyone
|
| will sing along (will sing along)
|
| Well this whole world (whole world) needs an anthem (needs an anthem)
|
| and I’m trying to put the words where they belong
|
| yeah this whole world needs an anthem (needs an anthem)
|
| and I’m hoping everyone will sing along (will sing along) |
