Djohariah - Sufjan Stevens

I know you won’t get very far

With the back seat driver in the carpetbagger

With the dagger heart grabber stuck in your car

And the yard is grown to a hilt

And the money spent money spent where it went

Embarrassment, embarrassment to pay for the car

And the man who left you for dead

He’s the heart grabber back stabber double cheater wife beater

You don’t need that man in your life

And you worked yourself to the bone

While the people say what they say

It’s the neighbors anyway

They don’t know what’s good for your life

And I see your head hangs low

In the black shadow, half shadow

Living room is fitting room is sitting room is fit for your crying

Don’t be ashamed—don't hide in your room

For the woman is, woman is the glorious victorious

The mother of the heart of the world

Djohariah Djohariah, etc.

And the time you held to the light

When water ran water ran with the strange attic

And when the walls were wet with your life

And you pushed yourself to the floor

And the spirit went where it went

Hovering discovering uncovering your life, on the floor

And the walls were wet with your love

For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious

The mother of the heart of the world

Don’t be ashamed, don’t hide from me now

For the woman is the woman is the glorious victorious

The mother of the heart of the world

Djohariah Djohariah, etc.

Don’t be ashamed, don’t cry in the bath

For it’s the story of, story of, morning glory story

It’s the gloriole that comes to your path

There is a time when the lights will arise

For the mother is, the mother is the glorious victorious

The mother of the heart of the world

Go on!

Little sister!

Go on!

For your world is yours, world is yours

All the wilderness of world is yours to enjoy

Go on!

Little sister!

Go on!

Little sister!

For your world is yours, world is yours

All the wilderness of world is yours

Go on!

Little sister!

Go on!

Little sister!

For your world is yours, world is yours

All the wilderness of world is yours

Go on!

Little sister!

Go on!

For you’re beautiful, beautiful

All the fullness of the world is yours
