Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Album: Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lake State
Song: For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
Lyrics:
I've have called you children
I have called you son
What is there to answer
If I'm the only one
Morning comes in Paradise
Morning comes in light
Still I must obey
Still I must invite
If there's anything to say
If there's anything to do
If there's any other way
I'll do anything for you
I was dressed in embarassment
I was dressed in white
If you had a part of me
Will you take your time
Even if I come back
Even if I die
Is there some idea
To replace my life
Like a father to impress
Like a mother's morning dress
If we ever make a mess
I'll do anything for you
I have called you preacher
I have called you son
If you have a father
Or if you haven't one
I'll do anything for you
I did everything for you

@glompify I am genuinely sorry for your loss.

I dont really see why people have a problem with people getting it from the OC, at the end of the day whatever way it brought us here, we are all here appreciating the music. So shutup and listen to the song. Its still just as amazing however it brought someone ehre.

I've loved this song for years and I'm glad more people are finding out about it. I just really wish it wasn't through the fucking OC.

Amazing song. Never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up even after listening to it a million times. Stunning.
