"Battle Cry" Lyrics

(Hook: Sia)
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh
It's just you and I
So, lift your hands toward the sky,
Lift your hands toward the sky
Oh-oh oh-oh

(Verse 1: Angel Haze)
It seems like yesterday that I was nothin'
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 yelling: "Bitch you can' tell me nothin'."
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 trying to outrun my past, but still trying to defeat my limits
Cause you only get one moment in this life to be great
And you 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 then all that you beat
And you can say

(Hook: Sia)
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh
It's just you and I
So, lift your hands toward the sky,
Lift your hands toward the sky
Oh-oh oh-oh

(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 creating believers
Start creating the leaders, tell 'em who they should follow,
Nobody but themselves, especially if they hollow
Especially when they empty and death reserves for fulfilment
You the only person alive who holds the key to your healin'
So you take it, and you run with it,
And keep going, 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 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

(Hook: Sia)
Money cannot I buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh
It's just you and I
So, lift your hands toward the sky,
Lift your hands toward the sky
Oh-oh oh-oh

(Bridge: Sia)
We don't wanna fight
So sing with me your battle cry
Sing with me your battle cry
Oh-oh oh-oh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh

(Verse 3: Angel Haze)
It's hard to explain my way of living to people who never lived it
A minute in my position filled with my opposition
That anybody not different fighting to stay the same
I got lives in my hand and I'm fighting to make 'em change
Couldn't accept responsibility, find somebody to blame
The emotions that I'm harbouring '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 missing
Inspire life into anybody that's forfeiting
Cause it's easy to keep pretending that there's nothing wrong
But it's harder to keep your head up and be fucking strong
So now they're telling 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 top you
Man, they can't do anything that you are about to"

(Hook: Sia)
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh
It's just you and I
So, lift your hands toward the sky,
Lift your hands toward the sky
Oh-oh oh-oh
We don't wanna fight
So sing with me your battle cry
Sing with me your battle cry
Oh-oh oh-oh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight,
All the love that's here tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh
