many guides

Sufjan Stevens

Though the ocean's deep and choppy
Let it be your guide
It'll take you to the one you love
Who's on the other side

If you meet a mountain goat
Let him be your guide
If he leads you far astray
He'll know in his side

Going around the mountain glacier
To the other side
If you see the face of God
His laws you must abide

Though the boxcar's rough and smelly
It's a place to hide
If it takes you to L.A.
Take it all in stride

Since the prarie's flat and lonesome
There's no place to hide
If you see a lion, lie down
And pretend you died

When you reach the gates of Heaven
After you have died
Put on fast the blood of Jesus
He'll get you inside
