Be - Hozier

When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight

When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks

When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates

When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake

When the birds are heard again in their singin'

Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame

And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'

With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came

Be, be, be, be, be

Be as you’ve always been

Be, be, be, be, be

Be as you’ve always been

(Lover, be good to me)

Be as you’ve always been (Lover, be good to me)

Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)

That freed the first man and will do so again

And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)

Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)

It’s been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover,

be good to me)

Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?

Oh, lover, be good to me

When the man who gives the order

Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back

When the bodies starvin' at the border

Are on TV givin' people the sack

Oh, when the sea rises to meet us

Oh, when there’s nothin' left for you and I to do

Oh, when there’s nobody upstairs to receive us

When I have no kind words left, love for you

Be, be, be, be, be

Be as you’ve always been

Be, be, be, be, be

Be as you’ve always been

(Lover, be good to me)

Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)

Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)

And watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops

And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)

Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)

Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)

That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land

Oh, lover, be good to me

Love, won’t you be

Love, won’t you be

Be as you’ve always been?

Love, won’t you be

Love, won’t you be

Be as you’ve always been?

Love, won’t you be

Love, won’t you be

Be as you’ve always been?

Love, won’t you be

Love, won’t you be

Be as you’ve always been?
