Every Sunday morning in front of the TV
We have memories of our parents watching TV on Sundays while we listened to music.

Recording with a microphone Naya Zindagi
We recorded a new life with a microphone.

Pioneer Gurdas Maan
Gurdas Maan paved the way for us to express ourselves with music.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
We were also inspired by the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Kept our parents alive
The music we listened to kept our parents' spirits up.

Gave them the will to survive
The music gave our parents the strength to keep going.

Working inna de factories
Our parents worked in factories to make a living.

Sometimes sweeping de floor
They did whatever it took to provide for us, even if it meant doing menial tasks like sweeping the floor.

Unsung heroines an heroes
Our parents were unsung heroes and heroines, working hard to provide for us.

Yes they open de door
Our parents opened doors for us to have a better life.

Our parents came to England a long time ago to seek a better life.

But now it seems we've arrived
We've come a long way and are now successful and proud of where we come from.

We embrace a new way of living.

Our new way of living gives us a fresh perspective.

Dis is England's new voice
We are the new voice of England.

Censorship for years
We were censored for years and couldn't express ourselves fully.

But now dem have no choice
They can no longer censor us because we are too powerful.

Running through de playground
We played as children, unaware of what the future held.

We could never have known
We had no idea that we would become role models in the future.

Dat in de future
In the future, we would be successful.

Our role models would be home grown
We would be the role models of the future, grown at home.

And now we're walking down de street
Now we are successful and proud, walking down the street with our heads held high.

Wid a brand new pride
We have a new sense of pride and confidence.

A spring inna de step
We are energetic and full of enthusiasm.

Young Asian brothers an sisters
We, the young generation of Asian people, are progressing together.

Moving forward, side by side
We are moving forward together, as equals.

Our opportunity will no longer be denied
We will no longer be denied opportunities because of our race or background.

And we're supposed to be cool
We are stereotyped as being 'cool' people.

Inna de dance our riddims rule
We are known for our music and dance moves.

But we knew it all along
We have always known our worth and potential.

Our parents' struggles and hard work made us strong and resilient.

We have not forgotten our roots and cultural heritage.

We have been building and expanding our culture.

Innovation inna the song
Our music is full of innovation and creativity.

Now de struggle continues
The struggle for equality and justice continues.

We aim to right the wrongs of the past and create a better future for ourselves and others.

New heroines and heroes
There are new heroes emerging in the struggle for equality and justice.

Inna de battle we belong
We are warriors in the battle for progress and change.

When we reach de glass ceiling
When we break through the barriers to success and equality.

We will blow it sky high
We will demolish those barriers and achieve greatness.
