lyrics

In my Father's arms I am safe
He will never go away.
In my Father's arms I will stay
There's a place for me always

I've been like an immigrant
Since I was a little kid
You can't have a tribe to trust
When you're always leaving
You can't have a heart to touch
If you're chasing transience
I need something bigger 'cause
This brokenness demanded it.

Sometimes it's lonely
And I say if only
Someone would show me
The way set before me
You said you know me
Blessed me and told me
To stop and move slowly
Enough that you can hold me close

Father to the fatherless
Defender of the little kids
Gracious and compassionate
Was and is and always been

Illinois
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 4 fans who also own “Father's Arms”

Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
