The Earth

Sufjan Stevens

Compositor: Não Disponível

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
