Vito's Ordination Song

Sufjan Stevens · Greetings From Michigan [2006]

i always knew you

in your mothers arms

i have called your name

i have an idea

placed in your mind

to be a better man

ive made a crown for you

put it in your room

and when the bride groom comes

there will be noise

there will be glad

and a perfect bed

and when you write a poem

i know the words

i know the sounds

before you write it down

only wear your clothes

i wear them too

i wear your shoes

and your jacket too

i always knew you

in your mothers arms

i have called you son

ive made amends

we should be father and son

or if you havent one

rest in my arms

sleep in my bed

there is a design

to what i did and said
