Steele

[Sufjan Stevens]

Trouble falls in my home

Troubled man, troubled stone

Turn a mountain of lies

Turn a card for my life

Man of steel, man of heart

Tame our ways, if we start

To devise something more

Something halfways

[Choir]

Only a steel man came to recover

If he had run from gold, carry over

We celebrate our sense of each other

We have a lot to give one another

[Sufjan Stevens]

I took a bus to the lake

Saw the monument face

Yellow tides, golden eyes

Red and white, red and wise

Raise the flag, summer home

Parted hair and part unknown

If I knew what I read

I’ll send it halfways

[Choir]

Only a steel man came to recover

If he had run from gold, carry over

We celebrate our sense of each other

We have a lot to give one another

[Sufjan Stevens]

Took my bags, Illinois

Dreamt the lake took my boy

Man of steel, man of heart

Turn your ear to my part

There are things you have said

Raise the boat and raise the dead

If you take us away

Still we can say

[Choir] (x2)

Only a steel man can be a lover

If he had hands to tremble all over

We celebrate our sense of each other

We have a lot to give one another

[Sufjan Stevens] (x2)

Took my bags, Illinois

Dreamt the lake took my boy

Man of steel, man of heart

Turn your ear to my part

There are things you have said

Raise the boat and raise the dead

If you take us away

Still we can say
