Paroles All delighted people Sufjan Stevens

All delighted people

Tomorrow you'll see it through
The clouded-out disguises put you in the room
And though I wondered out alone
A thousand lights abounded on our own

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 other reason than to be your leading man
And you woke up with a fright
Our lives depended on the visions through the night
All we had always, all we had always wanted to be for
The hurricane that inclined us toppling 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 delighted people raise their hands

I'm not easily confused
The trouble is 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
To the neon god they made
And what difference does it make
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 alone
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 lay
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 growing in the room

All delighted people raise their hands, all delighted people

And the people bowed and prayed
Oh, I love 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 lay
All 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 from the top of your heart

And the people bowed and prayed
Oh, I love 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
