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 was singing along

The same notes the same song

Or 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.
