Illinoise the Musical - a story about Jacksonville Lyrics
The song is written by Sufjan Stevens.
ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
I'm not afraid
Of the black man running
He's got it right,
He's got a better life coming
I don't care what the captain said
I fold it right at the top of my head
I lost my sight and the state packs in
I follow my heart
And it leads me right to Jackson
ARCTIINI & BARSINE:
Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh, oh
NACNA:
She gave us a medal,
She gave us a map
ARCTIINI & BARSINE:
Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh
NACNA:
If seeing is right,
Then look where you're at
ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
I'm not afraid of Nichols Park
I ride the train
And I ride it after dark
I'm not afraid to get it right
I turn around and I give it one more try
And I said things that I meant to say
The bandstand chairs
And the Dewey Day parade
I go out to the golden age
The spirit is right
And the spirit doesn't change
ARCTIINI & BARSINE:
Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh, oh
NACNA:
She gave us a mirror,
She gave us a map
ARCTIINI & BARSINE:
Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh
NACNA:
If seeing is right,
Then look where you're at
ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
Andrew Jackson,
All I'm asking
Show us the wheel
And give us the wine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Raise the banner,
Jackson hammer
Everyone goes to the capitol line
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Colored preacher,
Nice to meetcha
The spirit is here
And the spirit is fine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Education, ask the nation
You gave us our sight
And the hearing is fine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Andrew Jackson, all I'm asking
Give us the wheel
NACNA:
And give us the wine
Ooh-ooh
