Walking down England with a head like a stone
I was walking quickly, I was being followed home
By all those memories of my working class days
Like Kim Jon Un, they took my mind away
I was raised to believe that a woman on a throne
Had more right to live than the family I came from
Thought I was tone deaf til I heard myself sing
Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
My Father got shot in the second world war
Took a bullet for a king but he didn’t know what for
And the king never said thank you for the horrors he saw
Never mеntioned Dads name to the childrеn he bore
And I tell you my Father was a beautiful man
Brave a tiger, worked with his hands
Thought I was tone deaf til I heard myself sing
Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
You are my everything, you are my everything
To shine bright you have to believe it
Upright and you can achieve it
Starlight I think that you feel it
And my Mother worked hard without praise or reward
And they gave her a position it was the lowest of the low
Thought I was tone deaf til I heard myself sing
Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
They tell you that you’re nothing
But you should know that you are everything
I was walking quickly, I was being followed home
By all those memories of my working class days
Like Kim Jon Un, they took my mind away
I was raised to believe that a woman on a throne
Had more right to live than the family I came from
Thought I was tone deaf til I heard myself sing
Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
My Father got shot in the second world war
Took a bullet for a king but he didn’t know what for
And the king never said thank you for the horrors he saw
Never mеntioned Dads name to the childrеn he bore
And I tell you my Father was a beautiful man
Brave a tiger, worked with his hands
Thought I was tone deaf til I heard myself sing
Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
You are my everything, you are my everything
To shine bright you have to believe it
Upright and you can achieve it
Starlight I think that you feel it
And my Mother worked hard without praise or reward
And they gave her a position it was the lowest of the low

Thought I was nothing but I’m everything
You think you’re nothing but you’re everything
They tell you that you’re nothing
But you should know that you are everything
