Everything That Rises Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

Can you lift me up to a higher place?
Forget everything that was before
Turn your face around
Like the salted sphere
Turn yourself around
To see what once was there

Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises


Jesus lift me up to a higher plane
Can you come around before I go insane?
(Before I go insane)
Cast me not in hell
Where the demons rage (where the demons rage)
Turn yourself around
To see what I can save (to see what I can save)

Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises

Turn yourself away
From the wickedness, I said
Evil comes to play
In the image of the dead

Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises in a word
Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises

Everything rises (everything rises), everything
Everything rises (everything rises), everything
Everything rises (everything rises), everything

Everything rises
