Anthem
At The Onset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the noise that drowns out fear
Forget what you came with when you're here
This is the sound that makes us one
We come together with chains undone
We're not holding back or giving up
Just letting go and breathing in
We close our eyes and open our hearts
This could be our anthem whoa oh
We all will sing tonight
This could be our anthem whoa oh
We won't give up the fight
There's no mountain that we cannot move
Together we can't lose
This could be our anthem
We all will sing tonight

This is the sound of hope restored
We are a voice they can't ignore
This is our cry to the world outside
The sound that makes you come alive
Divided we could never win
Or stand to fight the war we're in
Our brokenness is what makes us whole

We will sing for the broken to be mended
Sing with the hopeless for new beginnings




We've found the one thing that brings us together
This is our anthem
