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

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
