The Darkest Light

[Verse 1: Beverley Knight] I was born the middle of three Raised in the heart of the Black Country And church and school was All I'd ever known Then aged ten we went away New York City holiday And I saw a whole new world Far from home [Verse 2: Wretch 32] Corn beef, sea bass Add Lees, street cabs Champagne, teabags In Saville Row with my jeans sagged Looking for a suit, I thought it was one shop Weren't embarrassed 'cause I know that my money can buy the lot Pizza Hut, Pizza Express It's like a hood chick and an empress Same result, probably less stress Business partners, dead friеnds Motorways, dead ends Plush complexеs or just said ends It's funny I was happy living sad, poor me Got a sick frame of mind when you're living poorly Thought you had to get invited to Glastonbury Should have seen me last year, Gucci Glaston-wellies Still sushi isn't for me Nearly lost my appetite tryna eat some raw meat Medium rare, that's what they called it I just cut in deep and it bled, I can't afford this [Chorus: Beverley Knight] If I never saw the light I'd be living in the dark, still be living in the dark If I never saw the light I'd be living in the dark, busy living in the dark [Verse 3: Beverley Knight] Well, I've travelled far and wide Still get a thrill like I did first time Always looking out for things I never see Heading back to NYC Never fails to remind me Of the little girl who dared Enough to dream [Verse 4: Wretch 32] My mum would lock me in if I forgot to lock the door Where I'm living now, there's no need to lock the doors Growing up, playing marbles on the floor Now I'm in the kitchen, marble on the floor Bailiffs, cleaners, Satan, Jesus No faith but playing Faith through the speakers Never knew I was living so close to an arena Until the first time I stepped in an arena Seeing is believing, my eyes were my ears And hear what I saw and I see what I hear And that was on the estate, cars were all Estates Never knew I could have an agent for my estate Giving sis a headache, whenever her friends came Sometimes we had to cause arms to get leg space Never knew that I could get my own home 'Til I got kicked out my house, had to get my own home [Chorus: Beverley Knight & Wretch 32] If I never saw the light (Saw the light) I'd be living in the dark, still be living in the dark (In the dark, ah man) If I never saw the light I'd be living in the dark, busy living in the dark [Outro: Wretch 32] You know the first time I went to the Royal Albert Hall?
