The Tallest Man  the Broadest Shoulders - Sufjan Stevens

I count the days the Great Frontier
Forgiving faced the seventh year
I stand in awe of gratefulness
I can and call forgetfulness

And when I and when I call

The patient the patient fall

The Spirit the Carpenter

Invites us to be with her
What have we become America
Soldiers on the Great Frontier

Carpenter and Soldier one on one
It's the battle volunteer

Run from yourself
From your friends from ya

Run for your life

For your friends for ya

America merica meri

Oh Illinois Illinois Illi

I count the days the Great Frontier
Forgiving faced the seventh year
I stand and strain to make ends meet
Five Spirits on the Grand Marquee

And when I and when I call

The patient the patient fall

The Spirit the Carpenter
Invites us to be with her

There was a man at the wall

He was grateful for us all

I saw the wise woman sing

She wasn't asking anything

She wasn't asking anything
How she made the nations sing

What have we become America
Soldiers on the Great Frontier

Run from yourself

From your friends from ya

Run for your life

For your friends for ya

America merica meri

Oh Illinois Illinois Illi

Oh Great Fire of Great Disaster

Oh Great Heaven oh Great Master

Oh Great Goat the curse you gave us

Oh Great Ghost protect and save us
Oh Great River green with envy

Oh Jane Addams spirit send thee
Oh Great Trumpet and the singers
Oh Great Goodman King of Swingers

Oh Great Bears and Bulls Joe Jackson

Oh Great Illinois
