Lyrics for "Anthem"

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in lookin' 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
Yes, they marvel after those who sought
Wonders of the world 'round
The world 'round, they wrought

Live for yourself, there's no one else
More worth livin' for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
Yes, they marvel after those who sought
Wonders of the world 'round
The world 'round, they wrought

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yes, it was for me, not you
That I came to write this song

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
Yes, they marvel after those who sought
Wonders of the world 'round
The world 'round, they wrought, wrought, wrought
