Sia, Angel Haze - Battle Cry

[Chorus: Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight.
It's just you and I,
So lift your hands toward the sky,
Lift your hands toward the sky!

[Verse 1: Angel Haze]
It seems like yesterday that I was nothing,
Then all of a sudden I'm a volcanic eruption,
Then all of a sudden it's like spontaneous combustion,
And I'm all up in your face yellin', ‘Bitch, you can tell me nothing!'
‘Cause I came from the bottom, now everybody's watchin',
I said it was my time, now I'm who everybody's clockin',
And I'm just out here sprintin', I'm runnin' right through my vision,
I'm tryin' to outrun my past, but still tryin' to defeat my limits.
‘Cause you only get one moment in this life to be great,
And you can give it your all despite what it takes,
And you never let ‘em kill you, you take everything they give you,
And throw it right fuckin' at ‘em, and tell ‘em it doesn't build you,
And, no, it don't ever break you, and, no, it can't overtake you.
Life's like a bed of roses, you take the thorns, and you make do,
Sometimes you have to hurt for the cause to be reached,
But one day you'll be stronger than all that you beat,
And you can say...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Angel Haze]
I woke up one Sunday morning, stopped believin' in Jesus,
Stopped believin' in churches, I stopped believin' in preachers.
I realized I was a teacher, not just one of the heathens,
I'm born to destroy the fallacies, start creatin' believers,
Start creatin' the leaders, tell ‘em who they should follow –
Nobody but themselves, especially if they hollow,
Especially when they empty and death reserves for fulfillment,
You the only person alive who holds the key to your healin',
So you take it and you run with it.
And keep goin' even when your sun's hidden,
Because the time we spent in darkness when the rain come,
Is where we often find the light soon as the pain's done.
There ain't no material things in the world
That can change the fact that you feel alone,
Despite the fact that it gets hard,
You take it all and you still go,
Take the sun and you still grow,
Lose the light and you still glow,
I been there, I'm still here and I know how you feel, so...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
We don't wanna fight
So sing with me your battle cry,
Sing with me your battle cry.
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight.

[Verse 3: Angel Haze]
It's hard to explain my way of livin' to people who never lived it,
A minute in my position filled with my opposition
That anybody not different fightin' to stay the same,
I got lives in my hands and I'm fightin' to make ‘em change.
Couldn't accept responsibility, find somebody to blame,
The emotions that I'm harborin' ‘bout to drive me insane,
Tried to say, ‘Fuck everything!' but I ain't have a heart to,
Rarely had a heart to do a lot of things I ought to.
So now I spit it for people, who say their cords missin',
Inspire life into anybody that's forfeitin',
‘Cause it's easy to keep pretendin' that there's nothing wrong,
But it's harder to keep your head up and be fuckin' strong.
So, now they tell me, ‘Go, Haze, they can't stop you.
Heavyweight flow, if they can't lift you, then they can't drop you,
The pinnacle, if they can't reach you, then they can't drop you,
Man, they can't do anything that you're about to.'

[Chorus]
