Shaped By My Story
Green grass to grey buildings
Fresh air to small ceilings
Road bikes now I squeeze in trains
From open lakes to tight lanes
That's life
Fresh food to preservatives
Fortress to box houses
Acres to square meters
Mozart to grime stars
That's life
I'm a stranger in London but I'm (even) stranger to the ones at home
Yes I know
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
From minus 10 to comfortable
Good son to dare devil
Road blocks to smooth trains
Slow days to rat race
That's life
Bubble life to open minds
Long days to long nights
Schnitzel to world cuisine
Many things I've never seen
That's life
I'm a stranger in London even stranger to the ones at home
Yes I know
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
London you shaped me I'll add to your shape
Forget all the comforts I'm here to make change
After all those sacrifices I make
Swapping the days for the long nights ahead
Learning to cook and to make my own bed
Working all day so that I get ahead
From 8 to 80 miles per hour instead
Running like a race horse the finish line awaits
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
Fresh air to small ceilings
Road bikes now I squeeze in trains
From open lakes to tight lanes
That's life
Fresh food to preservatives
Fortress to box houses
Acres to square meters
Mozart to grime stars
That's life
I'm a stranger in London but I'm (even) stranger to the ones at home
Yes I know
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
From minus 10 to comfortable
Good son to dare devil
Road blocks to smooth trains
Slow days to rat race
That's life
Bubble life to open minds
Long days to long nights
Schnitzel to world cuisine
Many things I've never seen
That's life
I'm a stranger in London even stranger to the ones at home
Yes I know
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
London you shaped me I'll add to your shape
Forget all the comforts I'm here to make change
After all those sacrifices I make
Swapping the days for the long nights ahead
Learning to cook and to make my own bed
Working all day so that I get ahead
From 8 to 80 miles per hour instead
Running like a race horse the finish line awaits
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
I am shaped by my story but I write it on my own
I am shaped by my story but I write it by myself
