Sufjan Stevens - Djohariah lyrics

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 the 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 the 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 the world is yours

Go on! Little sister! Go on!
Go on! Little sister!
For your world is yours, world is yours
All the wilderness of the world is yours
Go on! Little sister! Go on!
For you’re beautiful, beautiful
All the fullness of the world is yours
