Anthem

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)
