Sufjan Stevens – Chicago Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is about surrendering the things of this world for the things of God. He says all things go because he realizes that all things in this world are temporary. "You came to take us... to recreate us" is about Jesus and his role in creating a new nature in man. Sufjan cries in the van with his friend because he wants to let go of this world, "freedom from myself and from the land" but can't do it on his own.
