Anthem Lyrics

Nicholas Christopher & Chess 2025 Broadway Company Anthem

[ANATOLY]
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 army 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

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[ANATOLY & (ENSEMBLE)]
How can I leave her? (Ah, ah)
Where would I start? (Ah, ah)
Lеt man's petty nations tear themsеlves apart (Ah)
My land's only borders lie around (Ah)

[ANATOLY, ENSEMBLE]
My heart
