Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

Earth

Innocence was never lost

Though it may have been insulted

Even if the Earth forgot

Her inheritance resulted

In contradiction, ceremony

Benediction, hallelujah

There are no more accidents

Living things refuse to offer

Explanations of their worth

We in turn avenge the Author

With paranoia and prediction

Exploration, competition

Ceremony, inner anguish

Consequences, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive

Run, mission, run

Before we arrive
