forward; no use in looking 'round Hold your head above the crowd and they won't bring you down Chorus 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. 2nd Verse Live for yourself -- there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts Will only cry out for more Chorus Solo 3rd Verse Well, I know they've always told you Selfishness was wrong Yes it was for me, not you, I came to write this song Chorus Tabulature Explanation
