Lyrics

Stand and sing your anthem
Hand held in salute
Revel in your paean
Indoctrinate your youth
Heard before the football match
Played before the picture show
Written in a major key
By someone buried long ago
Your anthem is a prayer

Stand and sing your anthem
Got to do your part
Love your inner jingo
Hand above your heart
Stirring martial memories
Sacred standard colors fly
A perfect little melody
For what you want to deify
Your anthem is a prayer

Raise the ensign, start the engine
Feel salvation in the air
Take your triumph or ovation
Put the bay leaves in your hair
Your anthem is a prayer

Stand and sing your anthem
You can count me out
Your anthem is a prayer
Your anthem is a prayer
Your anthem is a prayer
