Blows My Mind

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the rain tappin’ soft on me pane,
Grey skies but my spirit ain’t feelin’ no chain,
From Brixton to Belfast, from valleys to Tyne,
There's fire in the soul and the roots run fine.

Cup o’ strong brew and a rye toast slice,
We get through the days, and we do it nice.
We’ve danced through the fog and sung through the fight,
Now the dawn’s creepin’ in, and we walk to the light.

[Chorus]
Rise up, isles of the brave,
From your stone-built streets to the windblown waves.
You’re more than the tales that history told—
You're the heat in the hearth when the nights get cold.

Shine on, people so grand,
With the grit of the sea and the grace of the land.
Hold fast, stand proud, and let love lead the way—
You're the heart of tomorrow, you're the soul of today.

[Verse 2]
We’ve got poets in pubs and prophets in parks,
Truth in our banter and light in our dark.
We’ve lost a few steps but we never lost song,
Still marching together, still pushing on strong.

Couscous with lemon, lentils and spice,
We feast on the good, we break bread twice.
We build with our hands, with a wink and a grin,
We know where we’re headed, ‘cos we know where we’ve been.

[Bridge] (Spoken/Sung with rhythm)
From Glasgow’s heart to Cornwall’s shore,
We’ve held the line and we’ll hold once more.
No crown nor coin can steal that flame,
The people of Britain—bold by name.

[Chorus – Repeat]
Rise up, isles of the brave,
From your stone-built streets to the windblown waves.
You’re more than the tales that history told—
You're the heat in the hearth when the nights get cold.

Shine on, people so grand,
With the grit of the sea and the grace of the land.
Hold fast, stand proud, and let love lead the way—
You're the heart of tomorrow, you're the soul of today.

[Outro – Soft and Soulful]
So take up the pen, or the brush, or the drum—
This island's alive, and the best is to come.
We ain't just survivors, we’re dreamers in bloom...
Britannia, love—sing loud, make room.
