You are the anthem
You are the stars
You are the sum of resuscitated parts
You are more handsome
For every faded scar
Paid a king’s ransom
To decorate a Tsar
(Star)
Yours are the hands on an elevated heart
(Star)
Making grand plans
On accelerated path
(Star)
You are the anthem
Of celebrated star
(Star)
Waiting on the serenade
The serenade to start
(Star)
(Star)
.
Dancing in the flames
To enchant them as you pass
(Star)
Chancing each vein
To supplant with native charm
(Star)
(Star)
Naked to the bones
Casting weighted robes aside
(Star)
Sacred when enthroned
With the grace of ocean tide
(Star)
(Star)
Breaking token chains
To a broken state of mind
(Star)
Open to the changes made
To paint you back to life
(Star)
(Star)
Owed to recreative days
Ahead of dead of night
(Star)
Hopeful in the faith
Of an angel bathed in white
(Star)

You are the anthem
You are the stars
Yours the expanse of an elevated heart
Yours is the compassion
Fashioned avidly from psalm
Massively impassioned bleeding
Savage seas to calm
Emphatically lavish dreams
Elaborately darned
Painting operatic scene
Mortality apart
You are the anthem
Of celebrated star
Waiting on the serenade
The serenade to start
.
Waiting on the serenade
The serenade to start
(Star)
.
Favoured reinvention
When staving off the blight
(Star)
Unwavering attention
To remaining true to type
(Star)
Laboured apprehension
As to claiming proven right
(Star)
Favouring abstention
From resentment humanlike
(Star)
Nevermore distracted
From the glimpse of all things bright
Evermore adaptive
To the black pitch dead of night
Every fate exacted
Faced collapse within your light
Every shade held captive
Traded anguish for delight
.
You are the anthem
You are the stars
Yours the expanse of a decorated heart
Paid a king’s ransom
To commemorate a Tsar
Placed the bandstand
On an elevated path
Making grand plans
For regenerative scars
Yours is benefaction
Fashioned avidly from psalm
Emphatically lavish dreams
Elaborately darned
Painting operatic scene
With majesty of heart
.

Waving for the serenade to start
