Wonderman

Lyrics

[Intro: Labrinth] The strong, the mighty The forces of evil could never destroy The power of the Wonderman And though the most formidable journey lies ahead Only one will prevail Wonder, Wonder, Wonderman [Verse 1: Tinie Tempah] Uh, yeah, these haters couldn't get to where I am with a full tank of petrol Uh, my uncle used to drink a can of Kestrel when life got stressful Uh, what kinda person should you be when you wanna make people accept you? Uh, what does it really mean when you dream of being famous and successful When you were born to be special? Uh, yeah and I went from the kid in class Texting radio DJs so they could big me up To the young rapper everybody's ringing up Got 'em looking for a sprinkle of that pixie dust Mad thoughts in my head when it's blowing up Like, "Are you really big enough?" I traded friends for fans, cement for sand Raise your hand, the Wonderman [Chorus: Ellie Goulding, Labrinth & Tinie Tempah] Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face? I'm counting on you to take it all away (The Wonderman) I saw the chosen one, they're calling your name (Uh, yeah) Are-are you-you, are-are you-you the Wonderman? (Let's go, uh) [Verse 2: Tinie Tempah] Bored of being nameless, bored of feeling awkward When you walk up in the mall and can't afford a pair of trainers Imagine when it changes, imagine satisfaction when you make it It's more than being famous More than the applause and more than any form of status More than the performances in twenty foreign places Benidorm, Vegas, many more praises Amen, hallelujah, Tinie look what's happened to ya Yeah, they love that attitude, brand-new and improved Yeah, and when the fans start grabbing you Show gratitude with a little braggin' too Amen, hallelujah, Tinie look what's happened to ya Who can say they ran all the obstacles I ran Look, I traded friends for fans, cement from sand Raise your hand, the Wonderman [Chorus: Ellie Goulding, Tinie Tempah & Labrinth] Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face? (Yeah) I'm counting on you to take it all away (The Wonderman) I saw the chosen one, they're calling your name (Oh) Are-are you-you, are-are you-you the Wonderman? (Oh) [Bridge: Ellie Goulding, Labrinth & Tinie Tempah] Come on, come on, the stars are where you belong (Wonderman) Come on, follow, your heart is gonna take you home (Uh; Wonderman) Come on, come on, the stars are where you belong There's no turning back from here [Chorus: Ellie Goulding, Tinie Tempah, Labrinth, Ellie Goulding & Labrinth] Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face? (See the bright lights) I'm counting on you to take it all away (The Wonderman) I saw the chosen one, they're calling your name (Uh, yeah) Are-are you-you, are-are you-you the Wonderman? [Outro: Labrinth] From this day on, the world will never be the same
