Anthem

Phantom Planet

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)
