Yngwie Malmsteen – Anthem lyrics
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 looking '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
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought.



Live for yourself
There's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more



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