We Are What You Say Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

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
