"Seven Swans" lyrics - SUFJAN STEVENS

SUFJAN STEVENS
"Seven Swans"

We didn't sleep too late
There was a fire in the yard
All of the trees were in light
They had no faces to show
I saw a sign in the sky
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans
I heard a voice in my mind
"I will try, I will try, I will try
I will try, I will try, I will try"

We saw the dragon move down
My father burned into coal
My mother saw it from afar
She took her purse to the bed
I saw a sign in the sky
Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns
I heard a voice in my mind
"I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"
He said, "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"
He said, "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"

He will take you
If you run
He will chase you
He will take you
If you run
He will chase you
Because He is the L
'Cause He is the L
'Cause He is the L
'Cause He is the L

[Collision]
'Cause He is the L
(Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans)
'Cause He is the L
(Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans)
'Cause He is the L
(Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans, seven swans)
