In "The Current," Rita Ora feels mystery stirring in her bones while an open heart waits to be shown where to go. She pushes against the current across the seven seas, searching for a home and a hero to believe in, only to find that all alone is her. The wild wind waving silver and gold promises a story still untold, so she decides to write her own happy ending, defend what she doesn't know, and accept uncertainty rather than what she is told. The song reaches toward self-trust as the hero she kept seeking.
The Current Lyrics by Rita Ora
Mystery repeating all around me, I can feel it in my bones
Mysteries revealing to an open heart that’s ready to be shown
Where do I go
Where do I go
Wild wind is waving
Silver and gold
Story untold
Wild world is waiting
Oh, I go against the current across the seven seas
Oh, I spend my whole life searching for a home I need
I’m looking for a hero
Just someone to believe.
Looking for a hero
When all alone is me
Not some where we started
And the rest is still uncharted in my soul
I’ll write my happy ending
Be the defender and defending and accept what I don’t know
And not what I am told.
Oh, I go against the current across the seven seas
Oh, I spend my whole life searching for a home I need
I’m looking for a hero
Just someone to believe.
Looking for a hero
When all alone is me.
All alone is me.
(Where do I go)
(Where do I go
Wild wind is waving
(Silver and gold)
(Story untold)
Wild world is waiting
Oh, I go against the current across the seven seas
Oh, I spend my whole life searching for a home I need
I’m looking for a hero, just someone to believe.
You know I’m looking for a hero when all alone is me.
