100 Years - Florence + The Machine

I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truth, and

I believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I do

Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light

And the days will become endless and never, and never turn to night

And never, and never turn to night

Then it’s just too much, I cannot get you close enough

A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here

And lord, don’t let me break this, let me hold it lightly

Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly

We have no need to fight

We raise our voices and let our hearts take flight

Get higher than those planes can fly

Where the stars do not take sides

Then it’s just too much, I cannot get you close enough

A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here

And lord, don’t let me break this, let me hold it lightly

Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly

And then it’s just too much, the streets, they still run with blood

A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here

And lord, don’t let me break this, let me hold it lightly

Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly

I let him sleep, and as he does

My held breath fills the room with love

It hurts in ways I can’t describe

My heart bends and breaks so many, many times

And is born again with each sunrise

And is born again with each sunrise

Funerals were held all over the city

The youth bleeding in the square

And women raged as old men fumbled and cried

We’re sorry, we thought you didn’t care, oh

And how does it feel now you’ve scratched that itch?

How does it feel?

Pulled out all your stitches

Hubris is a bitch

A hundred arms, a hundred years

A hundred arms, a hundred years

And then it’s just too much, the streets, they still run with blood

A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here

And lord, don’t let me break this, let me hold it lightly

Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly

Oh, oh, oh
