lyrics

If i could gather all the tears on a planet i could fill the ocean
If i would gather all a bullits in a world i could build a mountain
if i should comfort - all the broken hearted i should live foreba
if i gave shelter to the homeless of the earth i better build a roof from Kingston to Addis Abeba

Come and become one of the shelter folks
Free the hungry and take the lame for a walk
(You'd better) mek dem not worry
Like a stable to a baby in an ancient story
Come and become one of the shelter folks

I and i is askin' ya: join the crusade against injustice
come on and break down a heartache hotel and vank the oppressor
movin' forward - improvin' a planet, it's a Babylon exodus
let's mek it happen, glory to Jah, peace on earth, it's a right vibe, it's a shelter folks modus

Come and become one of the shelter folks
Free the hungry and take the lame for a walk
(You'd better) mek dem not worry
Like a stable to a baby in an ancient story
Come and become one of the shelter folks

Where is a lionhearts?
where is a welcomin' man?
where is a Zionhearts?
where is a helping hands?
ya better get up and stand up
fo' sumone elses rights

Flee from Babylon, (from) Babylon flea
Mount Zion is a place to be
come come ya shelter folks
set the exile free!

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 7 fans who also own “Shelter Folks”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
