[Verse 1: Laura Mvula]

Oh, love

Kill my people and drown them dead

Down in the river of lights

I'll fall

To drive us out to the end and take

A dream and bury them deep



[Pre-Chorus: Laura Mvula]

Could I reach down deep inside myself?

Pull out the gold?



[Chorus: Laura Mvula]

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder



[Verse 2: Laura Mvula]

Oh, love

They strip us down and rape our minds

Our skin was a terrible thing to live in

And now

With hand in hand, we free our souls

Remind us of our glory



[Pre-Chorus: Laura Mvula]

Could I reach deep down inside myself?

Pull out the glory?



[Chorus: Laura Mvula]

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder

How glorious, this light in us

We are a wonder



[Verse 3: Wretch 32]

See my flow

Dark skin, I'm a GLO

They gon feel my flow

Dark skin, I'm a GLO, GLO

We seen the films, we starred in 'em

The dollars, they flew til we reached our limit

They tied us to a corner, it reached its limit

I can still smell the skin in the streets I live in

Do you feel like quitting? Do you feel like quitting?

Don't know if I can just believe again

Don't know if I can trust a priest again

This has gone way past reasoning

There ain't no reason to reason with

Said I grew in it; now I don't know if I should grow with it

Or I should let go of it, let go of it

Let go of it

Trying to find answers (trying to find answers)

That'll only make your head go missing

My gran said "curiosity killed the cat"

And her best friend went with it

Life's a bitch, oh, life's a bitch

Pain to no more read you with

Pain to no more shoot you fear

Pain to no more team you in

You're middle-class, you're a class-A sinner

You're selling dreams from a living nightmare

I'm gonna shine cause my people died here

I'm gonna shine cause my people diamonds

Dirt so dead, I wanna put the light here, put the light here, put the light here

Smell Martin Luther in the air

The moral of the story is glory

So everybody's winning 'round here

Ah, yeah

Said ah, yeah

(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
