You had your debt tied up to my sleevesnWhile I was crumbling downnYou overload all the will in menAnd made a mockery of my crownnYou’ve taken and left me barrennBut in weakness I have foundnnThis is an anthemnThis is a call for allnYour eyes look vacantnI hope you can hear mennIf you had to base it all upon beliefnAnd forget there’s solid groundnWell I've to my face but no releasenLord, I cry out loudnI am not the seed of a failurenAnd I tremble when you call my namennThis is an anthemnThis is a call for all, a pleanYour eyes look vacantnI’m standing here pouring outnThis is an anthemnI hope you can hear menI hope you can hear men
