Got up one morning, said to myself gonna take a chance in life booked myself a one way flight Didn’t really know what I was doing but somehow felt right, right, yeah Got on the plane said goodbye to foggy weather but I knew it wouldn’t be forever See the place where I was born is a part of what I have become one English girl from Birmingham Do you remember Hansworth Revolution? Back to the story ‘xcuse me if I lost the plot momentarily It’s just I felt the need and it was necessarily so To tell you bout my roots and where I came from, my parents are Jamaican, that makes me West Indian I can’t forget my mother more than provided, friends and family guided me yeah I have to give props to my people deh ya Birmingham, not forgetting London And those that said to me
(chorus): Gotta have a little faith Cos fear only holds you back If your hearts in the right place Having faith will be a love that lasts (2x)
Had my reservations weighed against temptations But the will was stronger for temptations over yonder I had to put aside my gradual suicide, insecurities I had tried to hide Now I’m step, step, stepping out with my pride, self belief’s the train I ride And to my surprise those words that were wise Led me to receive so much love ATLiens, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and then some I thought the love I had was only home grown I didn’t believe I could make it on my own
(repeat chorus)
At first I couldn’t believe it While everyone else could see it That I could make it happen I didn’t believe I could make it happen I never thought I had it in me To be the person people said I’d be Than I found out faith was the key
(repeat chorus)
Anything you wanna do You can do it if you believe you can do it Open up your heart and let faith be your friend Wash your tears away and know that one day You will find your pot of gold if it’s faith that you hold
