Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black (For the Homeless in Muskegon)

If you happen to be educated

Time it marches on,

oh time it marches on.

In the end there is a sacred show

delivers every song,

delivers every song.

Mourning steps and

mourning gallivants

And mourning never shows,

no mourning never slows.

If the avatar reminds that it

will never stand at all,

will never stand as tall.

Since the water made it,

most to sail it,

made it most to song,

it made it most to song.

For the politics are not political

for what they stand,

For not what they demand.

Every senator and diplomat

combines her certain part,

A matter for the heart.

Save yourself from recognition.

selfless and quite song

To better get along.

(We love you. We Chose to.

We made to. We love you.)

If we concentrate and pull

resources to the highest poll,

To beat the highest pull, too.

Ever will we conquer grief

and find it faster to resolve

the dead, to be absolved

and fed, to restore.

If the advantageous

reprimand misgivings,

We wont grow.

We will not ever know.

We will not!

(Lift my life in healthy places!)
