The Child With The Star On His Head Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

Once in a while, you may think you see better than the others 

Scrambling around in the dark with your drum 

There is a time when young men must grow up and be brothers 

Are you afraid of growing too fast? 

And the child with the star on his head 

All of the world rests on his shoulders 

And the mother with the child on her breast 

Blessed is she among women 

And the trust we put in things 

In small ideas, in engineering 

The world of sports and second best 

In consequences we will not put to rest

Why crawl around in the snow 

When you know I am right here 

Waiting for you to expect something more? 

For I am warm, I am calling you close to my table 

Where I have made us a feast 

For the year of troubles, they have gone 

The winter brings a Christmas song 

And the child with the star on his head 

All of the world rests on his shoulders 

And the mother with the child on her breast 

Blessed is she among women 

Does all the world know better than 

When Christmas comes the troubles end 

The troubles end, the troubles end 

And by the time there's nothing left 

An empty tree, a winter vest 

A winter vest, a winter vest 

Photos 

And all the trust we put in things 

In dictionaries, in engineering 

In calendars, and television 

And father's friends, and consequences
