For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti - Sufjan Stevens

I 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 embarrassment.

I was dressed in wine.

If you had a part of me, will you take you’re 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 mourning dress,

If you 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
