Josh Groban - Anthem Lyrics






No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant, we who don't care

And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now

How can I leave her? Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart

  8. D.... K....

    With a few tweaks to the lyrics this song could be an epic missionary anthem. Something like:
    No man, no madness
    Though their sad power may prevail
    Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
    They rise to fail
    He is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, when no armies stood
    I AM was there
    And you ask me why I love Him
    Through wars, death, and despair
    He is the constant, we, who don't care
    And you wonder will I leave Him
    But how?
    I cross over borders but I'm still there now
    How can I leave Him?
    Where would I start?
    Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
    My land's only borders lie around His heart

  12. S.... S....

    This version of anthem is magnificent love Josh groban voice such great talent.

  13. S.... S....

    Brilliant rendition. There are really only two parts where Tommy do it better than you, but it's not really fair to compare either.

  14. K.... M....

    Woww....estoy sín aliento !.. no puede ser más perfecto !.. sept. 2019

  15. R.... L....

    Perfect!!!! The best singer all over the world!

  16. B.... ....

    Played this shite at Orchestra, probably the most boring piece that year.

  17. a.... ....

    Wow. That could be the American national anthem! Just wow. So powerful, Josh just standing on an empty stage and opening up his mouth like that. Amazing.

  18. A.... L....

    If you listen closely, you can hear angels singing.

  19. F.... G....

    His voice is like the whisper of the angels

    Gracias! Josh Groban 😍💖❤️

  24. N.... P....

    We’re performing this song in the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo this year, I was super excited when I found out

  25. J.... S....

    No man, no madness
    Though their sad power may prevail
    Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
    They rise to fail

    She is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, when no armies stood
    My land was born

    And you ask me why I love her
    Through wars, death, and despair
    She is the constant, we, who don't care
    And you wonder will I leave her
    But how?

    I cross over borders but I'm still there now

    How can I leave her?
    Where would I start?
    Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
    My land's only borders lie around my heart

  29. A.... E....

    Exquisita pieza musical! Gracias 🙏 josh Groban!

  30. V.... L....

    Josh does a really good job. Very nice! Anthem is hard to master.
    I prefer Tommy Körberg in the original set from the 1984-1989, even though Josh pretty much nailes it.

  31. G.... H....

    Obrigada pela maravilhosa voz......

  32. A.... E....

    Josh Groban! Gran hombre y músico!

  33. N.... ....

    Prefer the Tommy Korberg version





    But still great!

  34. P.... W....

    My favorite vocalist.

  35. F.... G....

    He's an Angel

  36. A.... E....

    Hermosa melodía! Gran interpretación! Josh Groban!

  37. D.... C....

    You really can never appreciate this unless you have headphones or incredible speakers. Nothing can do justice to his pipes though. This is a rare time that he went all the way with his skills and it's something people really need to experience. ..not just hear

  38. k.... ....

    Benny and Bjorn need to write him a signature song!

  39. A.... M....

    🌌🕊bravo♡! 🌬🌈🦄🕊🏇

  40. A.... E....

    Linda melodía! 🌸🌺🙏

  41. C.... A....

    ♥️♥️👉🏽😉

  42. M.... A....

    I love that he has stuck with his ultra genius pianist thorough the years. The pianist is so awesome. I love them both.

  43. A.... C....

    I am so in love with this song!

  44. N.... C....

    JOSH GROBAN - MAKES ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON - HIS MUSIC INSPIRING AND BREATHTAKING

  45. B.... L....

  46. J.... M....

    the lyrics couldn't mean less to me but it's such a banger

  47. A.... E....

    Hermoso!❤️❤️

  48. P.... C....

    Way better than EA’s Anthem, great music and zero loading screens.

  49. �.... ....

    But how?
    I cross over the board but I'm still there now.
    ...

    My land only border lie around my heart.

    Just Epic and touching poem...
    So brilliant!

  50. J.... D....

    I bought the Stages CD for my Dad in 2018 it was his first time he had heard Josh Groban sing and he was hooked to the point of playing the cd endlessly personally don't blame him but he passed away 3 weeks ago so many songs he had not heard Josh singing such a shame this song was his favourite right until the end so fitting for my Dad such a strong song for a strong man love you always my wonderful father xxx

  51. C.... C....

    This should be the UKs new national anthem!

    OK, the song's about Russia, but should be an "anthem" for patriotic occasions everywhere.

  65. J.... ....

  68. M.... R....

    Gorgeous song!
    When I hear it, I think about the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father, and the New Jerusalem.

    Psalm 45:6
    Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;

    Hebrews 11:8-10
    8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.....

    Hebrews 11:13-16
    ....13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

    Daniel 2:35
    Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

    Revelation 21:1-2
    21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    Всегда в восхищении от Джоша Гробана! Какой многогранный талант! Super!!!

  70. A.... F....

    Love your kiss with Idina!

  71. R.... G....

    This is honestly the best anthem I have ever heard.

  72. M.... Q....

    I swear Josh Groban is my angel of music. It's beautiful.

  73. M.... T....

    que c est beau

  74. A.... E....

    Linnnnnnndo❤️

  75. P.... M....

    *applause*

  76. A.... E....

    Bella canción! 🙏🌹❤️

  77. T.... A....

    I'm sorry, no. No no NO. I tried to have an open mind, but only Tommy can do this song justice.

    T.... A....

    Tommy's version but this is great.

  78. H.... d....

    Just a piece of cake...

  79. H.... d....

    haaayyyy. winnneeer. speeechleeesss. lovelots josh

  80. S.... Y....

    No man, no madness
    Though their sad power may prevail
    Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
    They rise to fail
    She is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, when no armies stood
    My land was born

    And you ask me why I love her
    Through wars, death and despair
    She is the constant, we who don't care

    And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
    I cross over borders but I'm still there now

    How can I leave her? Where would I start?
    Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
    My land's only borders lie around my heart

  81. m.... ....

    As a child of the 60s I have never been a nationalist and anthems generally make my flesh creep. But this one, precisely because it is not the anthem of any country (although in the story it is sung by a Russian about his own country) is worthy of every country. "My land's only borders lie around my heart!" brings me to tears every time I hear it.

    Oh hell yeah, if someday i go to war i want josh groban to be my commander.

  83. A.... E....

    Josh Groban! Es lo mejor ! Gracias! 🙏

  84. S.... K....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  85. G.... P....

    I heard "Anthem" for the first time. God gifted Josh, a million thanks for raising us up, for driving and making us go through your great universal love and your so many inspiring talents. May God bless and take care of you and your love ones.

  86. Y.... W....

    omg Im dying im crying

  87. D.... S....

    Really great job. Rich voice, a lot of emotions. Groban is a fantastic singer. But for me Tommy Körberg's rendition of this particular song will forever remain superior. Groban might be the more versatile and maybe even better singer overall. But not with this song.

  88. A.... E....

    Gracias! Josh Groban!

  89. J.... L....

    Listen Mister Groban day by day.
    THE BEST ONE SINGER IN WORLD.
    I could listen all minutes in a day. Fantastic!
    This is the Happiness!!!!

  90. L.... D....

    Tears... Tears everywhere...<3

  91. A.... E....

    Hermosa canción ! Gracias ! Josh Groban!👍🌹🙏😍

  92. J.... L....

    Mister Groban, Top Ten music in your career!

  93. F.... ....

    This is my favourite cover of Anthem, along with Kerry Ellis' version with Brian May. I can't choose. They're both monumental.

  94. A.... E....

    Lindo ! Josh Groban ! Felicidades!!

  95. T.... S....

    No man, no madness
    Though their sad power may prevail
    Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
    They rise to fail
    She is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, when no armies stood
    My land was born

    And you ask me why I love her
    Through wars, death and despair
    She is the constant, we who don't care

    And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
    I cross over borders but I'm still there now

    How can I leave her? Where would I start?
    Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
    My land's only borders lie around my heart

  96. S.... F....

    I do prefer Tommy's original version, but anyone who says this isn't an brilliant performance is a liar.

    S.... F....

    Tommy Körber is surely the best in that wonderful song !

  97. M.... C....

    Beautiful incredible voice,

  98. W.... ....

    Stunning! But then you should also check out the original singer Tommy Körberg doing his best performance ever with this song! https://youtu.be/aBjc7ojnAaU
