Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, James McAlister - Earth lyrics

Innocence was never lost
Though it may have been insulted
Even if the Earth forgot
Her inheritance resulted
In contradiction, ceremony
Benediction, hallelujah

There are no more accidents
Living things refuse to offer
Explanations of their worth
We in turn avenge the Author
With paranoia and prediction
Exploration, competition
Ceremony, inner anguish
Lord I pray for us, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah oh, hallelujah

Run, mission, run before we arrive
Run, mission, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
Run, nation, run before we arrive
I see it the beauty of the Earth
On my death bed but it's too late
I'm such an idiot

I see it the beauty of the Earth
On my death bed but it's too late
I'm such an idiot

I see it the beauty of the Earth
On my death bed i'm such an idiot
