Anthem Lyrics

Whats a miracle if life itself is not
Who am I to praise its worth with a hymn
I may stumble over words that I forgot
Just as life itself slowly begins
Sing me a song for the mountains to move
Sing me the anthem of life
Sing me the anthem of life
I am skeptical, i like my glass of wine
I don't know your name or what i am to do
One day you'll wonder why i try to read between the lines
And you will sing for me the way i sing for you
Sing me a song for the ocean to part
Sing me the anthem of life
Sing me the anthem of life
Sing me the anthem of life
So another page is turned
I pray that i understand whats happening
But if anything, i do know this
I'll be the best i can
Sing me a song
let the angels rejoice
Sing me an anthem of life
Sing me the anthem
Sing me the anthem of life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Roy Khan wrote this song a couple of months before his son was born. This song is about his fears of becoming a father.

Such a beautiful song, as for the meaning, it's about Roy being a father apart from the child not being born yet because he wrote it before his child was born

First line I think is amazing. "Whats a miracle if life itself is not." ..and that's all I got.

While it is a song about Roy's son, it is a very spiritual one. He's stating that he may not be perfect, but no matter what happens he will always try his best. Being a dad myself, I understand exactly how he feels.
