Sufjan Stevens - The Hidden River Of My Life Lyrics






2, 3, 4

Suppose the world was not informed by real estate or power lines?
The hidden river of my life, pursued by love
The whispering stone, the valley ford, the candy corn, the spirit finds
Abuse has left me on my side, a single stone

I'm a walker, I'm a dreamer
Treehouse greeter, Pentacostal preacher
I'm a rocker, yeah I'm a schemer
Compost preacher, pioneer believer

A small betrayal, a simple thought to shrug it off, unoccupied
The precious lake, the riverbed, the rising tide
The sad surprise, the day of flags, the flooding fox, the clever chime
Awake my soul, awake my heart and you will find

I'm a walker, I'm a drinker
Safeway shopper, thunder egg reader
I'm a biker, yeah, I'm a beaver
Web-foot walker, trailblazing fever
I'm a lover, yeah, I'm a reaper
Subaru driver, satellite receiver
I'm a trucker, yeah, I'm a chaser
Pig-n-Ford rider, I'm a Nike racer

Gloria in ex-Canemah

    Suppose the world was not informed
    By real estate or power lines?
    The hidden river of my life
    Pursued by love
    The whispering stone, the valley ford
    The candy corn, the spirit finds
    Abuse has left me on my side

    Composed preacher, pioneer believer

    A small betrayal
    A simple thought to shrug it off, unoccupied
    The precious lake, the riverbed, the rising tide
    The sad surprise, the day it feds
    The flooding falls, the cliff or chime
    Awake my soul, awake my heart and you will find

    I'm a walker, I'm a drinker
    Safeway shopper, thunder a greeter
    I'm a biker, yeah, I'm a beaver
    Wet foot walker, trailblazing fever
    I'm a lover, yeah, I'm a weeper
    Subaru driver, satellite receiver
    I'm a trucker, yeah, I'm a chaser
    Chasing for a rider, I'm a Nike racer

    ‘Awake my soul, awake my heart’ literally what I think every time Sufjan comes on

  11. m.... T....

    Beautiful song! Thanks, Subaru :)

  12. T.... T....

    Safeway Shopper!

  13. T.... C....

    I dont get the ending

  14. e.... ....

    oh thank god, the sad banjo is at it again

  15. T.... W....

    Haven't really paid attention to this song. Woke up singing it in my head, and had to search the lyrics to see which amazing Sufjan song it is. I love it now. Sufjan, you need Aldi in your life.

    T.... W....

    The Watcher what’s ALDI?

  16. P.... ....

    My heart breaks every time one of Sufjan's songs draws to an end.

  17. h.... ....

    te amo susu

  18. i.... i....

    My personal favourite of all the songs released in 2017!

  19. H.... A....

    this song is just amazing! love the end of it

  20. M.... C....

    I've been going through hell lately. I can't even describe the tears of joy I have from this Oregon album.

    My time in Portland was the best time of my life, this has warmed my heart.

    Thank you so much Sufjan <3

    M.... C....

    Molly Carlini yes thank you!!! This album (as well as Carrie & Lowell tbh) convey Oregon pretty strongly, this song most of all!

  21. J.... T....

    THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SUFJAN!!

  22. l.... r....

    Subaru Safeway back at it again! Damn it, I'm not crying 😭

  23. A.... C....

    Grateful

  24. O.... ....

    The first half of the song makes me feel strange. It sounds like something that would be playing in the background when someone you love has died and youre forcing yourself to step out into the world even though you don't want to and still managing to see the beauty in things.

  25. C.... T....

    Gloria in excelsis Deo! #LIVElove #SERVEall. Pray for peace within and without...

  26. D.... D....

    Many rivers are crossed but the hidden ones are the most challenging... philosophy for YouTube, Dr David Sands

  27. P.... ....

    Sufjan is one of the single most beautiful musicians I've ever heard. I normally hate modern music and I tend to go for things at latest to the 70s and older but damn.

  28. S.... A....

    this songs resonates so much with my soul! I love how personal yet universal all his songs can be, honestly.... Sufjan.... the greatest gift!!

  29. A.... H....

    I missed the banjo

  30. L.... ....

    The Subaru part always cracks me up 😂

  31. B.... N....

    um Comrade Sufjan

  32. Z.... B....

    Music for the soul 😌

  33. M.... ....

    Smurfman Stephanopoulos!

  34. A.... S....

    Bless us sufjan stevens ❤❤

  35. C.... B....

    Sufjan. Just. How? How do you do this, every time? Break my heart but also add immeasurable layers of light and joy to it. Thank you xx

  36. J.... W....

    Super song ❤️👂🏼🌅💪🏼

  37. b.... c....

    was having a rough night last night but I had this on my feed this morning and I'm feeling much more peaceful now, thank you xx
    my sister introduced me to sufjan when she learned to play casimir pulaski day and I've been a fan since. his music has changed so much but I don't love it any less, thank you for continuing to write and release songs that are inspiring, comforting, thought-provoking, and just downright good

  39. R.... V....

    Wunderbar!

  40. V.... S....

    Sufjan's way of ending songs just kills me. I feel like I'm a sad lonely astronaut floating in space.

    V.... S....

    But as long as there is us floating the same as you, never feel lonely ! ^-^

  41. o.... m....

    i can't believe sufjan is using the yeah flow in his music now

    o.... m....

    i consider myself more of a worshipper than a fan

    o.... m....

    Oops, my question was to the original post.

    o.... m....

    yeah, is this bad?

    o.... m....

    go away, if you dont like it. simples.

    o.... m....

    and can you believe like the vast majority of his songs use 4/4 time? I mean like ugh right

  42. M.... M....

    No artist can capture emotions and moments in time like sufjan. I feel transported every time. Thank you subaru

  43. E.... F....

    "Subaru driver"

    E.... F....

    Well, they called him Subaru

    E.... F....

    who called him Subaru?

    E.... F....

    Lorna, the man who taught him how to swim couldn’t quite say his first name.

    E.... F....

    Lorna Poole Lowell, his stepfather

  44. w.... c....

    this song would've been so cool performed live :(

  45. w.... c....
