  • Music and love have magnetic properties
    Wrote a scholar from the island that they kept from me
    And I don't need to solve my unknown identity
    Just need an answer to the question in the taxi
    My sister paints apathy like blasphemy
    But I never thought names deserve such energy
    It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family
    My choice to choose, yeah, my choice to choose, yeah

    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Do what I can to see the wood from the trees
    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Let the branches wrap their arms around me

    I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze
    I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me
    To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea
    I can see England waving, white horses carry me

    Music and love have magnetic properties
    Wrote a scholar from the island that they kept from me
    And I don't need to solve my unknown identity
    Just need an answer to the question in the taxi
    My sister paints apathy like blasphemy
    I've seen God's green earth with the people closest to me
    It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family
    I choose you, yeah, I choose you, yeah

    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Do what I can to see the wood from the trees
    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Let the branches wrap their arms around me

    I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze
    I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me
    To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea
    I can see England waving, white horses carry me

    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Do what I can to see the wood from the trees
    Know who I am, that's important to me
    Let the branches wrap their arms (branches wrap their arms)
    Let the branches wrap their arms around me

    I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze (on the southeast breeze)
    I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me
    To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea (of the Channel Sea)
    I can see England waving, white horses carry me Writer/s: Ellen Ciara Rowsell, Joel Donald Scott Amey, Jonathan Oddie, Theodore Joseph Ellis
