Anthem
bobby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been
Contemplating, waiting, hesitating
Do I
Really have everything that it takes to make it
Will I
Surrender to the anxiety and remain forsaken
Should I risk it all
My one chance should I take it
I sparked an idea that I hold deep in my heart
I could really make a difference in this world with my art
Put the pen to paper on that day it was the start
Of my journey now I'm ready to embark
I just wanna live my life right now
And nobody on Earth is gonna hold me down
I'm breaking my chains and I'm breaking free
I just wanna go back to being me
I am a boy who grew into a man
Now I'm gonna do the best that I can
To save the world
From all the violence
I will no longer sit in silence
'Cause we are the human race
One race
And we've worked too hard
To let it all go to waste
I could write a million songs
Just to try to get us all to put down our guns
And our nucleur bombs
I surrender to love
'Cause love always wins in the end
We can't be enemies forever
Let's be friends
Now you know what this music's for
It's the anthem of the war against war
I always knew I had to be the one to write it
'Cause music is inside of my soul I can't hide it
We can all learn how to take our planet divided
And create a new team call it Earth United
That's the goal and I'm taking my shot
I'm always used to holding back so I'm giving it all I got
For so long I didn't know how to feel
But the fact of the matter is
I love you all a lot




And that's Real
Yeah
