Wonderman Lyrics
"The strong, the mighty...
The forces of evil could never destroy the powers of the wonderman. And though the most formidable journey lies ahead, only one will prevail: wonder-wonder-wonderman."
[Tinie]
Uh, yeah
These hates 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 kind of 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 from sand, raise your hand
The wonderman...
[Ellie]
Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face
I'm counting on you to take it all away
Rise up, chosen one, they're calling your name
A-Are you-you
A-Are you-you the wonderman?
[Tinie]
Bored of being nameless, bored of feeling local
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 20 foreign places
Benidorm, Vegas, many more praises
Amen hallelujah Tinie look what's happened to ya
Yeh they love that attitude brand new and improved, yeh
And when the fans start grabbing you
Show gratitude with a little bragging too
Amen hallelujah Tinie look what's happened to ya
Who can say they ran these obstacles i ran, look
I traded friends for fans, cement from sand, raise your hand
The wonderman...
[Ellie]
Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face
I'm counting on you to take it all away
Rise up, chosen one, they're calling your name
A-Are you-you
A-Are you-you the wonderman?
[Ellie]
Come on come on
The stars are where you belong
Come on follow your heart
It's gonna take you home
Come on come on
The stars are where you belong
There's no turning back from here
[Ellie]
Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face
I'm counting on you to take it all away
Rise up, chosen one, they're calling your name
A-Are you-you
A-Are you-you the wonderman?
"From this day on, the world will never be the same"
The forces of evil could never destroy the powers of the wonderman. And though the most formidable journey lies ahead, only one will prevail: wonder-wonder-wonderman."
