Anthem
Ringo Starr's Anthem: A Call for Unity and Action
Lyrics
This is anthem, for peace and love
This song is an anthem dedicated to peace and love.
We've gotta keep trying, we can't give up
Encourages perseverance and not giving up in the face of challenges.
This is the day, no turning away, this is an anthem
Emphasizes the importance of commitment to the cause; no turning back.
You think you've got it covered, you say you know the score
Suggests a false sense of security, thinking one understands everything.
But people are dying, there's no denying
Despite perceived knowledge, there is undeniable suffering and death.
But do we do we know what for
Raises questions about the purpose and reasons behind the suffering.
We know we know we know we know it's true
Repetition reinforces the certainty of the situation.
We know we know we know we know what we've gotta do
Emphasizes the awareness of what needs to be done.
This is anthem, of peace and love
Reiterates the anthem's focus on peace and love.
We've gotta keep trying, we can't try enough
Reinforces the idea of continuous effort and not giving up.
This is the day, no turning away, this is an anthem
Repeats the commitment to the cause without turning away.
It's not all mines and bullets it's from hunger too
Expands the sources of suffering beyond violence to include hunger.
But never say never
Encourages optimism with the phrase "never say never."
Lets get it together
Advocates unity and collective action to address issues.
We know we know we know we know it's true
Reiteration of the truth about the situation.
We know we know we know we know what we've gotta do
Restates the awareness of what must be done collectively.
We know we know we know we know it's true
Repetition for emphasis on the acknowledged truth.
We know we know we know we know what we've gotta do
Reiterates the collective responsibility to take action.
This is anthem, of peace and love
Reaffirms the anthem's theme of peace and love.
We've gotta keep trying, we can't try enough
Emphasizes the continuous effort required for the cause.
This is the day, no turning away, this is an anthem
Repeats the commitment to the cause without turning away.
No man ever made it on his own
Stresses the importance of mutual support; no one achieves success alone.
No man ever made it all alone
Reiterates the idea of collaboration and shared responsibility.
We've gotta help out
Advocates for assistance and support among individuals.
This is anthem, of peace and love
Reaffirms the anthem's focus on peace and love.
This is anthem, of peace and love
Reiterates the anthem's theme for emphasis.
This is anthem, of peace and love
Concludes by restating the anthem's dedication to peace and love.
