I woke up today a song was swimming in my head 今天我醒来的时候一首歌是游泳在我的头上

And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed 我哼给我自己，因为我下了床

And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me 在路上，洗澡这一切只是我恍然大悟

That a song like this just might go down in history 像这样的一首歌也许会被载入史册

I quickly ran back to get my guitar 我赶紧跑回来把我的吉他

A pen and some paper 笔和一些纸

   

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem “因为这整个世界需要的赞歌

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong 我试图把属于他们的地方的话

Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem 是啊，这整个世界需要的赞歌

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along 而且我希望每个人都一起唱

   

Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear 嗯，我很快就来上班，并把歌曲中的齿轮

And my neighbor rang the doorbell said it caught his ear 而我的邻居按门铃说，这引起了他的耳朵

I was playing it so loud the whole neighborhood could hear 我玩这么大声，整个街区都能听到

And at night from every household it became quite clear 晚上从每家每户它变得很清楚

Everyone was singing along 每个人都在一路高歌

The same notes the same song 相同的音符同一首歌

Or maybe I heard it wrong 或者，也许我听错了

   

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem “因为这整个世界需要的赞歌

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong 我试图把属于他们的地方的话

Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem 是啊，这整个世界需要的赞歌

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along. 而且我希望每个人都跟着唱。
