Emeli Sande

I'm currently obsessed with the music and lyrics of Emeli Sande.

 

 

 

You've got the words to change a nation, but you're biting your tongue

You've spent a life time stuck in silence, afraid you'll say something wrong

If no one ever hears it how are we gonna learn your song

let's get the tv and the radio to play our tune again

it's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events

(Read all about it part III)

 

 

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast

when we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea

when everyone has lost their heads around us

you will find him, you'll find him next to me

(Next to me)

 

 

'Cause when you've given up

When no matter what you do it’s never good enough,

When you never thought that it could ever get this tough

That's when you feel my kind of love.

And when you're crying out,

When you fall and then can't pick your happy off the ground

When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around.

That's when you feel my kind of love.

 

(My kind of love)

 

See the times are changing, and I'm sure of nothing that I know

Except this is us, and this is love, and this is where I'm home

(Where I sleep)

I'm from a generation undecided

I'm restless and I can't help changing things

 

But in all the noise and the excitement,

your love is all that will remain

(Where I sleep)

But if you're too proud to follow rivers

how are you ever gonna find the sea?

 

(River)

 

 

 

I hope we start seeing forever

Instead of what we can gain in a day

I hope we start seeing each other

 

Cause don't we all bleed the same

I really hope someone can hear me

That a child doesn't bear the weight of a gun

I find the voice within me to scream at the top of my lungs

I just hope I'm not the only one

Call me, call me a dreamer

But it seems like dreams are all that we've got left

(Hope)
