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
-chorus-
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
-chorus-
Everyone was singing along
The same notes
The same song
Maybe I heard that wrong
-chorus until fade-
