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
