[Verse 1]
It's been a long road
But my heart, it keeps on going
I've seen my darkest days
But a fire, it keeps on burnin'
It's been a hard ride
But my legs, they keep on movin'
With these broken bones
You're my saving grace
[Chorus]
I'm in need of your love
You're my saving grace
I'm in need of your love
[Verse 2]
It's been a journey
And the wind, will keep on blowin'
I've had a bad turn
But the world, will keep on turnin'
There is a whirlwind
Spinning inside my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
You're my saving grace
[Chorus]
I'm in need of your love
You're my saving grace
I'm in need of your love
[Verse 3]
In my mind
I'm still not done
Only just begun
I'm still not done
I'm here for the long run
You're my saving grace
[Chorus]
I'm in need of your love
You're my saving grace
I'm in need of your love
You're my saving grace

What inspired it?

What I’ve learnt over the years is that, in the end, we all can turn to music for healing. That’s what sparked the making of this song.
What was the process of making the song like?
I worked with one of my heroes, legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen, musical director for Fela Kuti’s Africa 70 band as well as, more recently, a fundamental component of The Good, The Bad & The Queen. As soon as he arrived at RAK Studios in London and laid down the first five seconds of the b...
