They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black (For the Homeless in Muskegon) Lyrics
If you happen to be educated
Time, it marches on
Oh, time, it marches on
If the end there is a sacred show
Delivers every song
Delivers every song
Mourning steps and
Mourning gallivants
And mourning never shows
No mourning never slows
If the avatar reminds that it
Will never stand at all
Will never stand as tall
Since the water made it
Most to sail it
Made it most to song
It made it most to song
For the politics are not political
For what they stand
For not what they demand
Every senator and diplomat
Combines her certain part
A matter for the heart
Save yourself from recognition
Selflessness and quiet song
To better get along
(We love you
We chose to
We made to
We love you)
If we concentrate and pull
Resources to the highest poll
To beat the highest pull, too
Ever will we conquer grief
And find it faster to resolve
The dead, to be absolved
And fed, to restore
If the advantageous
Reprimand misgivings
We won't grow
We will not ever know
We will not!
(Lift my life in healthy places!)
Time, it marches on
Oh, time, it marches on
If the end there is a sacred show
Delivers every song
Delivers every song
Mourning gallivants
And mourning never shows
No mourning never slows
If the avatar reminds that it
Will never stand at all
Will never stand as tall
Most to sail it
Made it most to song
It made it most to song
For the politics are not political
For what they stand
For not what they demand
Every senator and diplomat
Combines her certain part
A matter for the heart
Save yourself from recognition
Selflessness and quiet song
To better get along
We chose to
We made to
We love you)
Resources to the highest poll
To beat the highest pull, too
Ever will we conquer grief
And find it faster to resolve
The dead, to be absolved
And fed, to restore
If the advantageous
Reprimand misgivings
We won't grow
We will not ever know
We will not!
(Lift my life in healthy places!)

It's sad, but Muskegon is really going down hill. The town has so much potential. Yet, everything is being wasted. (By the way, I live 10 minutes away from downtown Muskegon.) For being a relatively small town, homelessness is definitely a problem. It's a shame. Hopefully things will improve.
The city's getting better. It's not the greatest place to live, but it was a lot worse before.
Then again, it is losing everything that made it great. Downtown is terrible, now. It's just... ugly.
i'm from muskegon and it's pretty much dead.
lets save it.
zach harris? do you go to tosa east? if so, i think i saw you at the sufjan concert!
I've lived in Muskegon my whole life, I've never seen any place more beautiful. You just need to get out of your car and take a bike ride down town, its gorgeous in it's own ways, stop being so close minded.
i don't live in muskegon but this is an amazing song
This song reminds me of Muskegon, and Michigan in general. Beautiful, and hopeful, even with a tanking economy and growing poverty.
"Selfless and quite song"
Should be "Selflessness and quiet song"
