Cover art for A Sun Came lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

Here are the exact lyrics for this song, transcribed from Sufjan's handwriting in the first pressing of the album. The lyrics are originally written without line breaks.

A sun came: everything You are is everything we have. You're the only good thing: a sun came and burned our faces brown, burned our faces red. You are still the rage, a run from the enemy. There is still a house, a cage for the enemy. And when my friends turn out I found out there's still the Lord. I never felt so lonely: a sun came.
