Anthem '84

(Kris Kristofferson)



If you're looking for a fighter who'll defend you

And love you for your freedom I'm your man

And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doin'

But don't ask me to lend a helping hand.



You were such a pretty dream as I remember

You were young and strong and God was on your side

But the vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes

You traded your compassion for your pride.



But I still believe in all that we believed in

And I pray to God that you will in the end

You'll see the golden chances that you're wasting

And be the loving beauty that you can.

But I still believe in all that we believed in

And I pray to God that you will in the end

You'll see the golden chances that you're wasting

And be the loving beauty that you can...
