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)
