Joan Shelley - New Anthem Lyrics


I want the anthem that feels like first love
I want the chorus that warms like fire
I want the tune that swells like a full moon
Knows your deepest desire

Just like the wild bear that roams these mountains
Just like the wild cat that claims these hills
My song’s the size of the room you provide it
If you don’t hear it, who will?

You be the lead, I am the rhythm that carries
You have the hands, the touch, and the tone
My false rhyming, my crooked timing
You give it all a home

And heaven help us when hate has the reigns
God forgive us, when we’re silent and stunned
Though bruised and burned, my love returns
If you pour honey on my tongue
I want the anthem

I want the anthem that feels like first love
I want the chorus that warms like fire
