Anthem '84
Embrace the Beauty Within: Kris Kristofferson's Anthem '84 Unveiled
Lyrics
If you're looking for a fighter who'll defend you
If you're seeking a defender who will stand up for you.
And love you for your freedom. I'm your man.
And someone who will love you for your freedom, I'm the one for you.
And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doing
I won't abandon you despite the reckless actions you may take.
But don't ask me to lend a helping hand.
But don't expect me to offer assistance or support.
You were such a pretty dream as I remember
You were a beautiful dream in my memories.
You were young and strong and God was on your side.
You were once youthful, strong, and felt favored by God.
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
However, your vision and sense of wonder diminished over time.
And you traded your compassion for your pride.
You exchanged your empathy for pride.
But I still believe in all that we believed in.
Despite the changes, I still hold onto the beliefs we once shared.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
I hope that, eventually, you will believe in those things again.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting.
You're missing valuable opportunities, but I have faith you'll realize.
And be the loving beauty that you can.
Embrace the loving and beautiful aspects of yourself that you possess.
But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
Reiterating the persistence of belief in our shared values.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting.
Expressing hope that you'll recognize the missed opportunities.
And be the loving beauty that you can.
Encouraging you to embrace the love and beauty within yourself.
