[Verse 1] Left my home where the jungle breathes With a suitcase full of memories Little tag tied ‘round my coat so worn “Please look after him,” the note was torn Found a place where the trains all sigh Underneath that London sky Two kind faces, they smiled at me Said, “You’re safe now—home can be” [Pre-Chorus] Every step feels new somehow Every street, I’m learning now [Chorus] I’m golden in the rain of a brand new town Even when the world spins upside down With a heart full of hope and a jar held tight I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright Yeah I’m golden, though I don’t belong Still they sing me into their song Under marmalade skies where I find my way In the light of a London day [Verse 2] Tried to help but I made a mess Sticky hands and a tangled dress Barber chairs and a flooded floor Guess I don’t get things just yet for sure But they laugh when I get it wrong Pull me back where I belong Every moment, I start to see Home is more than geography [Pre-Chorus] Through the chaos and the fun I’m becoming someone [Chorus] I’m golden in the rain of a brand new town Even when the world spins upside down With a heart full of hope and a jar held tight I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright Yeah I’m golden, though I don’t belong Still they sing me into their song Under marmalade skies where I find my way In the light of a London day [Bridge] From the wild to the winding streets Every stranger I gently meet Might just smile, might understand All I need is a helping hand [Outro Chorus] I’m golden, now I finally see It’s not where you’re from—it’s who you’ll be With a family I never knew Now my skies are a brighter blue Yeah I’m golden… I’m golden…
