People Lyrics - The Dreaming Room - Laura Mvula

[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] 

Feel 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 

Depending on what breed you is 

Depending on what should you fear 

Depending on what team you're 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 in the dirt 

So they don't 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)
