We Are What You Say

We are a servant, We have a song, The side of a beehive, A tabernacle choir. We are the sound Working in wars, The bishop is gone To the acolyte shores. We save our bibles, We pull our sleeves. The word is a guard And the guard is a cleave. We are the right, We are the stay, The accolade's gone, We are what you say. We have no language, We have no chore, The side of a beehive, The bride is a whore. We are a spite, We are at bay, The spirit is life, We are what you say. We have a sermon, We have a song, The bishop is easy, The bishop is wrong. The spirit is right, The spirit will say: We are a light, We are what you say. --- We Are What You Say - Sufjan Stevens
