Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People lyrics

Tomorrow you'll see it through The clouded out disguises put you in the room And though I wandered out alone A thousand lights abounded on our home And I remember every sound it made The clouded out disguises and the grave So yeah, I know I'm still afraid Of letting go of choices I have made All delighted people raise their hands And I took you by the sleeve No other reason than to be your leading man And you woke up with a fright Our lives depended on the visions through the night And all we had always All we had always wanted to before The hurricane inclined us Grappling on the floor All delighted people raise their hands Still the force of nature spurned Ideas of strength and style Abated by the burning basement All delight people raise their hands I'm not easily confused The trouble with the storm inside us grew But I had so much to give In spite of all the terror and abuse And the people bowed and prayed And what difference does it make for you and me? All delighted people raise their hands And the people bowed and prayed And what difference does it make? It doesn't matter anyway The world surrounds us with its hate Hello darkness, my old friend It breaks my heart I've come to strangle you In-spite of what you'd like And don't be a rascal Don't be a laughing dog in spite of odds All I'm deciphering From the spirits in the light within All delighted people raise their hands In restless dreams I walked alone, I walked alive The clouded out disguises Left me in a dream of lightness All delighted people raise their hands And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And what difference does it make? I love you so much anyway And on your breast, I gently laid Your arms surround me in the lake I am joined with you forever And the people bowed and prayed And what difference does it make for you and me? All delighted people raise their hands I'm not easily confused I feel alive, I feel it glowing in the room All delighted people raise their hands All delighted people All delighted people raise their hands All delighted people All delighted people raise their hands All delighted people All delighted people raise their hands All delighted people And the people bowed and prayed Oh, I love you a lot Oh, I love you from the top of my heart And what difference does it make? I still love you a lot Oh, I love you from the top of my heart And on your breast, I gently laid Oh, my head in your arms Do you love me from the top of your heart? I tried my best, I tried in vain Do you love me a lot? Do you love me from the top of your heart? And the people bowed and prayed Oh, I love you a lot Oh, I love you from the top of my heart And you can see through my mistakes Oh, I'll tell it to you now Oh, I'll tell it from the top of my heart And what difference does it make If the world is a mess If the world is a mess And on your breast, I gently laid Oh, I'll tell it to you now Oh, I'll tell it to you now When the world's come and gone Shall we follow our transgressions Or shall we stand strong? I tried to save the things I made Oh but the world is a mess Oh but the world is a mess And what difference does it make If the world is a mess? If the world is a mess I tried my best, I tried in vain Oh but the world is a mess Oh but the world is a mess Suffer not the child among you Or shall you die young When the world's come and gone Suffer not the child among you Or shall you die young When the world's come and gone
