Lyrics

Got up one mornin', said to myself gonna take a chance in life
Booked myself a one-way flight
Didn't really know what I was doin' but somehow it felt right, right, yeah
Got on the plane, said goodbye to foggy weather but I knew it wouldn't be forever, no
See the place where I was born is part of what I have become
One English girl from Birmingham
Do you remember Handsworth Revolution?
Do you know 'bout them Steel Pulsations? Yeah
Back to the story, 'cuse 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 come from
My parents are Jamaican, that makes me West Indian
I can't forget my mother more than provided
My friends and family guided me, yeah
I have to give props to my people there out Birmingham, not forgettin' London
And those that said to me
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
Had my reservations weighted against temptations
But the will was stronger for temptation over, yonder
I had to put aside my gradual suicide, insecurities I had tried to hide
Now I'm step, step, steppin' 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, love
From the 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
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
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
Never thought I had it in me
To be the person people say I'd be
Then I found out faith was the key
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
Gotta have a little faith
'Cause fear only holds you back
If your heart's in the right place
Havin' faith will be a love that lasts
Anything you wanna do
You can do it if you believe you can do it, yeah
Open up your heart and let faith be your friend
Let faith be your friend
Wash your fears away, wash your fears away, wash your fears
Wash your fears, wash your fears
You will find your pot of gold if it's faith that you hold
