0:13Laura Mvula：Oh love
0:20k**l my people and drown them dead
0:24Down in the river of lights
0:30I'll fall
0:32To drive us out to the end and take
0:35A dream and bury them deep
0:40Could I reach down deep inside myself
0:45Pull out the gold
0:47How glorious this light in us
0:53We are a wonder
0:58How glorious this light in us
1:04We are a wonder
1:11Oh love
1:13They strip us down and R**e our minds
1:16Our skin was a terrible thing to live in
1:22And now
1:24With hand in hand we free our souls
1:28Remind us of our glory
1:33Could I reach deep down inside myself
1:37Pull out the glory
1:40How glorious this light in us
1:45We are a wonder
1:51How glorious this light in us
1:57We are a wonder
2:02How glorious this light in us
2:08We are a wonder
2:13How glorious this light in us
2:19We are a wonder
2:25How glorious this light in us
2:30We are a wonder
2:37Wretch 32：Feel my flow
2:40Dark skin I'm a Glo
2:42They gona feel my flow
2:43Dark skin I'm a Glo Glo
2:46We've seen the films we starred in 'em
2:48They've done as they feel til we reached our limit
2:49They tied us to a car let it reach its limit
2:51I can still smell the skin in the streets I live in
2:53Do you feel like quitting do you feel like quitting
2:55Don't know if I can just believe again
2:57Don't know if I can trust a priest again
2:59This has gone way past reasoning
3:01Cause shere ain't no reason to reason with
3:02I'm sad I grew in it cause now I don't know
3:04If I should grow with it or I should let go of it
3:06Let go of it let go of it
3:08Trying to find answers
3:09Trying to find answers
3:10That'll only make your head go missing
3:12My gran said curiosity killed the cat
3:14And her best friend went with it
3:16Life's a b**ch oh life's a b**ch
3:18Depending on what breed you is
3:20Depending on what shoe you fit
3:22Depending on what team you're in
3:23You're middle class
3:24Or you're class a selling
3:25You're selling dreams from a living nightmare
3:27I'm gonna shine cause my people died here
3:29I'm gonna shine cause my people diamonds in the dirt
3:31So they don't wanna put the light here
3:33Put the light here put the light here
3:34Smell Martin Luther in the air
3:36The moral of the story is glory
3:38So everybody's winning 'round here
3:40Ah yeah
3:41Said ah yeah
3:42Ah yeah ah yeah
