Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching
I've been wandering
We've been saving up
We've been growing up
And how many friends have we lost along the way
They are still in this world with our
and we'll hold to our dreams we won't give them away
We'll just try and we'll try and we'll try and we'll try again
we'll just keep on singing la ha ha ha ha ah ah
la ha ha ha
la ha ha ha
la ha ha ha
la ha ha ha ha
la ha ha ha ha
Ask me
I can tell you
If I was stronger now
I would leave your life
Cause all that we want is to love along the way
There are times in this life when our feelings can change
if you don't ask you won't learn then it won't go away
We'll just try and we'll try and we'll try again
we'll just keep on singing
la ha ha ha ha ah ah

I have learned some things
Stay healthy
Be with the ones you love
do the things you like
if you ask me
i can tell you
keep trying
we will break through
you know we will break through
Cause all that we want is to give our love away
there are times in this life we are willing to change
we will ask for the world
we will ask for the world
And we'll try and we'll try and we'll try and again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alana Yorke's song Anthem speak to the determination and perseverance that is needed to navigate through life's challenges. The song begins with lines “I’ve been watching, I’ve been wandering, we’ve been saving up, we’ve been growing up” which seems to indicate a sense of introspection, taking stock of one's own life experiences and growth. The chorus, repeated throughout, emphasizes this determination to keep pushing forward, even in the face of setbacks. The lyrics "And we'll hold to our dreams we won't give them away, We'll just try and we'll try and we'll try and we'll try again" evoke a sense of hopefulness and the idea that success can be achieved with persistence.


The song also speaks to the value of relationships and love. The lines “Cause all that we want is to love along the way” and “Cause all that we want is to give our love away” speak to the importance of relationships in life and the idea that love is what makes the journey worthwhile. The lyrics also suggest that change is inevitable in life, and one must be willing to adapt and grow to succeed.

@valentineokwudili9565

Guess what! I am getting addicted to this song already...
Honestly speaking, I wanted to next this song the moment it started, because I did not get here by myself, I was just playing any song I can listen to. But I really don't know what made me listen. Maybe I was checking to see the correlation of the song with the video, and momentarily, while all these were happening, I feel in love with the song. I then began to see how the music was communicating to me in a special way. I had just started a business, and due to this, I seldom find time for many thing, I have also met with challenges, but I just keep on trying, and still trying.
Someday I will love to use this song when I'm ready to launch my company big time. Thank you for the song
